Shchechitsy. Chapel-tomb of the Yablonovskys.
In the village of Shchechitsy, Mosty district, the Yablonovsky chapel-tomb and the remains of the estate have been preserved. The chapel is very similar in architecture to the Church of the Holy Trinity in Volchin, Kamenets district. The chapel was erected at the entrance to the Yablonovo estate. The location of the estate is written in the sources, or the place of Shchechitsy, or the village of Yablonovo, which is very close and almost extinct.
The chapel was built in the 18th century at the expense of Alexander Jozef Yablonovsky (1711-1777). He bought the town of Yablonovo and married Anna Karolina Radziwill. Yablonovsky was a public and political figure of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth - stolnik the Great of Lithuania, voivode of Novogrudok, historian, poet, heraldist and philanthropist. He had great knowledge of history and was well educated. After his first wife died, Yablonovsky remarried: he was 50 years old, and Princess Frantishka Victoria Voronetskaya was 15 years old. In 1766, a wedding was celebrated, the wedding took place in the chapel in Yablonovo. Their son August Dobrogost Yablonovsky (1769-1792), the captain of the People's Cavalry, sold the Yablonovo estate to Prince Voronetsky.
Then the Eismonts and Lubenskys were the owners here.
To this day, the chapel has been preserved, which is in disrepair. There are also several stone outbuildings of the estate.
