The activities of Jakub Narkevich-Iodko are of great interest even today - it is interesting to touch history by visiting this place!
In 1823, a representative of the noble family, Onufriy Narkevich-Iodko, bought the estate of Malyskovshchina, on the territory of which there was a two-story brewery. In ten years, he rebuilt the old brewery into a palace and carried out its improvement. The building turned out to be quite unusual: it combined the features of a defensive structure and features of medieval Gothic. Two towers of hexagonal and tetrahedral shape were added to the architecture of the building, the height of one of which was 27 meters, a wide terrace was built along the building.
Later, the estate passed into the possession of Onufriy's son, professor and naturalist Yakub Narkevich-Iodko. He became one of the largest landowners in the Minsk province. In the basement of the estate, he equipped laboratories where he conducted experiments and tests on the use of electricity in various fields. For example, in an experimental field near the estate, the scientist studied the effect of electricity on plant growth. He found that conducting a current of a certain strength through the soil accelerates seed growth by 3 times. Yakub Narkevich-Iodko created the first meteorological station in Belarus in Nadneman, which was part of the main observatory of the Russian Empire. The scientist also conducted research on the use of electromagnetic radiation in medicine, developed a unique system of contactless electrotherapy. This method of treatment became famous in Italy as the "Iodko system". By 1892, Narkevich-Iodko became the director of his own free clinic, which also became known far beyond the borders of Belarus.
Later, the scientist's son became the owner of Nadneman Konrad. After his forced departure from the estate in 1921, the estate was plundered and gradually fell into disrepair. Narkevich-Iodko's personal property, scientific equipment and rich library were lost.
Before World War II, the palace housed a children's sanatorium. During the war, the palace was blown up.
To this day the palace has not been restored. Only the ruins of the central part of the palace and the entrance gate can be seen.
The activities of Jakub Narkevich-Iodko are of great interest even today. It is interesting to touch history by visiting this place!
In honor of the Narkevich family, a memorial plaque was installed on the building in the estate near Uzda. In 2002, the restoration of the historical and cultural monument of the Minsk region - the Narkevich-Iodko family cemetery under the Nadneman estate - was completed and a memorial stone was installed in honor of Yakub Narkevich-Iodko.
