Repikhovo. Pototski Manor Park.
The Repikhovo estate is located near the village of Krivoshin, Lyakhovichi district. Repikhovo was first mentioned in 1481 as the property of Ivan Ilyinich. Then the land passed to Radziwill 'the Orphan'. The Radziwills transferred the property to the Catholic Jesuit Order. And in 1772, by order of King Stanislav August Poniatowski, the estate passed to Anthony Tizengauz.
It was only at the end of the 18th century that the permanent owner of the estate, Peter Pototski, appeared. In 1849, Konstantin Pototski became the owner. At the beginning of the 19th century, the foundation of the manor and the park took place. The park is 6 hectares with a central lime alley, which is 10 meters wide. There were 3 ponds created in the park, which have different shapes, and on the largest pond there is an island. There used to be a swing bridge to the island. Fish such as carp and crucian carp with pike were grown in the ponds.
There was a large clearing with flower beds in the park. There was a stable and a manor house on the outskirts of the clearing. In addition to the palace, there were outbuildings about the estate: a cellar, a menagerie, and an outbuilding for the coachman and cook. The palace and other buildings have not survived to our time, except for the cellar. Part of the park was used as a vegetable garden. There was a greenhouse, greenhouses, a gardener's house and a plant nursery. Today, there are about 50 species of plants in the park.
There is a memorial boulder in the park dedicated to the classic of Belarusian literature Jan Chechot (1796-1847). Chechot spent his childhood years with Repikhovo, as his father worked here as a housekeeper.
There is also a grave of German soldiers from the First World War on the outskirts of the park, as battles took place nearby and the war left its mark on the history of the estate.
During the period of the Polish state from 1921 to 1939, Count Boleslav Pototski was the owner of the estate. The count lived in Repikhovo until 1939 and died during the defense of Warsaw from Nazi troops. And Countess Pototskaya was evacuated on an English plane and later lived in the United States. In Soviet times, a hospital was organized in the estate. Some of the buildings were destroyed during the last war.
