Meshtovichi. The estate of the Bryanets and Skirmunt families.

In the Zelvensky district, a manor house in the village of Meshtovichi has been preserved to this day. The place was first mentioned in historical sources in the 16th century since the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In the 17th century, it belonged to the Skurats: in 1690, Florian and Pavel Skuraty were the owners here.


Part of the estate belonged to the Volkovysk mayor Stanislav Tulovsky. At the end of the 18th century, Aloysius Bryanets was a farmer in the village. In 1890, the estate had 231 tithes of land and was owned by Ivan Bryanets. The next owners until 1939, before the advent of Soviet power, were the Skirmunts. The last owner is Skirmunt Boleslav.


 The manor was built in the late 19th century during the Russian Empire in an eclectic style. The area of the estate, together with the garden, is six hectares.

 An entrance alley has been planted from an ash tree. The stone entrance gate in the form of two pylons has been preserved to our time. On one of the pylons there is a date of construction - 1885.

The dominant feature of the estate is the master's house, which is located in the center. The building is a one-story stone building. It has been well preserved to our time. There are several stone outbuildings nearby.


During the war, there was a hospital in the estate. A monument to the deceased Soviet soldiers has been erected nearby on the territory of the estate - a total of 290 soldiers are buried.
