Description
In the village of Lukovets, there are traces of the Borovsky estate, built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The main house of the estate did not survive, only its basements remained. Ruins of a barn, a glacier-house, gates, fences and some outbuildings can be observed on the territory. Some of the buildings were recently demolished. A small tower stands out in the fence of the estate, which served as a chapel. The park has not been completely preserved. On the outskirts of the park is the Church of St. Peter and Paul, housed in a former kindergarten building.

The ruins of the Borovskys' estate and the remains of the park of the XIX - early XX century. XX century in Lukovets
The Borovskys' estate includes a chapel, a barn and outbuildings. The main house has not been preserved, but there are ruins of a barn, part of the fence. In one corner of the fence, an interesting chapel tower has survived since that time. The former cowsheds, although rebuilt, are still used for their intended purpose.
The estate began to take shape in the 1820s in the classical style thanks to Brigitte Shumskaya, whose initials are still visible on some buildings. Later, she transferred the estate to Alexander Borovsky, and then to Ivan Borovsky, the last owner.
In 1905, the estate was severely damaged by a fire. The Borovskys restored it, replacing wooden buildings with stone ones, but retaining the overall layout.
The territory of the estate and park complex occupied about 18 hectares, including terraces and a 2-hectare park. The main house was one-story, with verandas and basements, but burned down in 1942.
Today, the estate continues to deteriorate, despite its status as a natural monument. Fragments of the road, fences and chapel towers have been preserved.
Imbued with the atmosphere of a traditional Belarusian rural lifestyle, Borovsky Manor attracts travelers, allowing them to immerse themselves in the history of architecture in Belarus at the beginning of the 19th century and enjoy the historical heritage.
Today, a visit to the village of Lukovets has become part of a variety of tourist routes focused not only on classic holidays in Belarus, but also on such destinations as "Ecotourism in Belarus", "Weekend in Belarus", "Active leisure in Belarus" and other programs related to tourism and recreation in the region.
Despite the fact that the estate is almost destroyed, it is very atmospheric here. An interesting piece of history! It is better to go here in spring or autumn, so that there are no dense thickets of grass.
