The Mstizh Gates.

The Mstizh Gates (Mstizhskaya Brama) is a historical architectural object that remained from the Slug manor, located between the villages of Mstizh and Zagorye. This temple represents an important element of the cultural heritage of the region and is a testament to the architectural style and life in the past.

Slizen family Manor was known for its architectural beauty and historical significance, but over time, most of its buildings were lost.


The place with the beautiful name Mstizh is located in the Borisov district of the Minsk region. These lands have a rich and ancient history, but it is poorly studied. The first mention of the area dates back to the 14th century. The history of the area was closely connected with the Radziwills, Tyshkevichi, Khreptovich, Slizens.

With the Slizens, Mstizh reached its peak of economic prosperity and prosperity. At the end of the 18th and the first half of the 19th century, Nikolai Slizen and his son Jozef built a two-story stone palace here, of which only the entrance gate has survived to this day. A powerful road through the park led from Brama to it. Similar to the preserved bramas, the bramas were from different sides of the estate.


Since the middle of the 19th century, the estate began to gradually fade away and split up. The new owners of the town were the sons-in-law of Jozef Slizen, as he had two daughters, Ignaty Bulgak and Henry Volovich. Also, during that period, various tenants were engaged in the name, the heirs came here only in the summer.


In 1890, a severe fire broke out and the stone palace was dismantled to the foundation. Then the estate was rebuilt, but in a simpler version. In the first half of the 20th century, the Slizen Manor buildings were demolished. Only Brama (Gates) and the ruins of Brovar (Brewery) have been preserved.


Mstizhskaya brama today serves as a reminder of the greatness of the estate and its owners. Brama is made in a typical style for its time and is interesting for both tourists and historians. It attracts attention with its architectural detail and historical context, and is also a popular destination for photography and guided tours.
