Novodevyatkovichi. Slizen Manor.

There are several monuments of architecture and antiquity in the town of Novodevyatkovichi, Slonim district. The place was first mentioned in historical sources in the 16th century during the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In those days, the estate belonged to the Meleshki.

The Meleshko family of the 'Korchak' coat of arms in the Slonim district had large possessions. In 1677, Theodore Meleshko sold the Devyatkovichi estate to Alexander Kazimir Slizen. This family was in charge here until the arrival of Soviet power in 1939.

Tadeusz Slizen built a wooden Catholic church in Starye Devyatkovichi in 1779, and then built a stone church in Novye Devyatkovichi, which was consecrated in honor of Peter and Paul. The stone church was built in the Baroque style, it was intended as a shrine for a Slizens family.

At the beginning of the 19th century, Slizens already owned several estates in the Slonim district. In the 19th century, Alfred Slizen built a grandiose English–style castle in Novodevyatkovichi.

The palace has not been preserved to our time. During this period, the estate was visited by the famous artist and composer Napoleon Orda, who left us a watercolor painting of the palace from the outside.

It was a three-story stone grandiose building, which is covered with a gable roof. The architectural dominant feature was the tower, which was rectangular in plan and had small round turrets around the edges of the tower. A flagpole was fixed on the tower, a pennant on which indicated whether the owner of the estate was at home now. The palace had a rich library. The monument was lost during the war.

There was a regulated park near the palace.

To this day, several farm buildings from the estate, a one-story part of the former palace, and a park with a pond have been preserved.
