Pryluki. Czapski Manor.

The first mention of the estate in Priluki dates back to 1567. Previously, there was the first post station here. In the middle of the 17th century, the Oginskys founded an Orthodox monastery here, which existed until 1740. Then the new owners, the Ivanovskys, transformed the monastery into a castle. And the next owner of the estate, Anton Gorvatt, began its renovation and reconstruction, as a result of which a luxurious neo-Gothic palace appeared. He also built a number of outbuildings here. Today we can see a complex of preserved outbuildings located near the manor house: a grain barn built in 1871, a distillery, a carriage house, a 19th-century house where workers lived.

The last owners of the palace were Count Hutten-Czapski and his son. They improved the estate, erected a number of additional buildings. It is known that during their time the interiors of the palace were famous for their special luxury. They were also the owners of rich collections of works of art, books, coins, and paintings. During the heyday of the estate, Stanislav Moniuszko and Napoleon Orda visited here. After the revolution, the Czapskis left the estate, and it began to be used as a rest home for the NKVD. During the Great Patriotic War, the estate housed the German military commandant's office. In 1944, the palace was set on fire during the retreat of the Germans and was heavily damaged. The renovation and restoration of the building, its partial completion took place only in 1958-1959.

Today The palace and park complex in Priluki is a very pleasant, quite picturesque and atmospheric place. The palace building looks good from the outside, but it is a pity that you can’t get inside. The territory adjacent to the palace with benches and flower beds is neat and well-groomed. A good location for a photo shoot, you can take excellent shots. Around the building there are trees remaining from the former estate park. It was interesting to see the remaining outbuildings - but it is upsetting that they are in an unkempt state.
