Description
The 'Svyatsk Gursky' Estate and Park ensemble is located 25 kilometers from Grodno, next to the Augustovsky Canal, in the village of Radziwilki.
A few years ago, Viktor Bartashevich's family purchased the estate at auction and has been engaged in its restoration ever since. A cozy "Pivnitsa" appeared in the basement with arched vaults, and later the Gursky guest house was opened. In summer, weddings are held here for hundreds of guests, and events are held in the music room, designed for 50 people.
The owners have invested great efforts to recreate the unique atmosphere of the old manor. Specialists were involved in the restoration: architects, designers and restorers. We worked from old photographs provided by the Gursky brothers from Warsaw, whose childhood was spent in Radziwilki. Some fragments of the walls were left in their original form in order to preserve the historical appearance.

The Radziwilki estate has all the conditions for a comfortable and memorable stay.
The Gursky estate has a rich history. In the 17th century, camedule monks lived here, who created an English park and a cascade of ponds that adorn the territory in front of the estate.
In the 19th century, the estate passed to the Gurskys, who built a stone house and developed the farm. In the 19th and the first half of the 20th century, the estate in Radziwilki was owned by the Gursky family. This family was famous for its charity and entrepreneurial activities, being considered one of the wealthiest in the region. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, Peter Gursky founded a starch factory in the village. However, in the following years, the estate fell into disrepair.
In the 1960s, a guest house and a rest house were built on the estate.
The main manor house and outbuildings have been preserved to this day. Special attention should be paid to the cascade of five ponds located in front of the estate. There is a park nearby, where a rare beech-hornbeam alley has survived.
Today, the estate is being actively restored by private owners. It is open to tourists, families and large companies who want to enjoy nature and relax in a cozy atmosphere. Here you can both spend time in a relaxed atmosphere and celebrate important events.
Today, comfortable guest rooms are equipped here, and bike rides and sporting events are held on site. There are plans to open a souvenir shop and a museum where the Gursky family heirlooms will be displayed.
The Radziwilki estate has all the conditions for a comfortable and memorable stay.
