Polessky. The building of the bathhouse.

In the Luninets district there is a place called Polessky, which was called Kristinovo until 1964. It was first mentioned in documents in the 15th century during the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

At the end of the 16th century, Kristinovo passed to Prince Nikolai Drutsky-Lyubetsky and belonged to this family for three centuries until the time of the First World War. Kristinovo belonged to an estate in the neighboring village of Lunin.

 After the partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as part of the Pinsk district of the Minsk province.

During the First World War, the Drutsky-Lyubetsky estate in Lunin was destroyed and František Drutsky-Lyubetsky moved his residence to the village of Kristinovo. A small wooden palace was built here.

After the Riga Peace of 1921, Kristinovo was part of the Polish state until 1939. It was part of the Polesie voivodeship of the Luninets district. The last owner of the estate in Kristinovo, Prince Frantisek Drutsky-Lubetsky, died during the war in 1944 during the anti-Hitler uprising in Warsaw.

 And already in Soviet times, after the Great Patriotic War in 1964, the town of Kristinovo was named as the village of Polessky.

The building of the former bathhouse has been preserved from the former estate of Prince Drutsky-Lyubetsky along Trudovaya Street. The building was built of brick in 1905, and according to another data in the 1880s. Now there is a Protestant church there.
