Skoki. Nemtsevichi estate.

The Nemtsevich Estate is a monument of Baroque architecture and has a plastic volumetric-spatial composition characteristic of Baroque architecture. It is also a monument of garden and park art in the "French" style. For many years, the estate building was in a deplorable state. However, in 2006, a large-scale reconstruction was carried out and now the historical and memorial museum "Nemtsevich Estate" operates here.

The estate in Skoki belonged to the famous Niemcewicz family. It was founded by Marceli Niemcewicz. His son Julian Niemcewicz was a public figure, writer, and close friend of Tadeusz Kosciuszko, who described in his memoirs the events of the 18th and early 19th centuries that took place in the Brest lands. Stanislav Niemcewicz was a marshal of the gentry of the Grodno province, major general, and governor of Grodno. Jan Niemcewicz was a marshal of the gentry of the Grodno province.

The history of the estate holds many interesting events; a large number of famous people visited the Nemtsevich family: Ian Fleming, princes Czartoryski and Shuisky, Russian Emperor Alexander III, composer and artist Napoleon Orda.

During the First World War, the estate suffered greatly. The headquarters of the commander of the Eastern German Front, Prince Leopold of Bavaria, were located here. On December 15, 1917, an armistice was signed between Germany and Russia, as a result of which all military actions from the Baltic to the Black Sea ceased.

After the Great Patriotic War, the former estate housed a school until 1986. Until 2006, the palace was not used, being in a neglected state.

Today, after the restoration and renovation work, it is a great museum with beautiful interiors. Very interesting and rich content of the exposition. The museum was created with great interest and attention to the past era. Here you never get tired of looking at every object in the interior of the living room, ballroom, armory, bedroom, playroom. Beautiful furniture, chic paintings.

The beautiful and well-kept estate of the Nemtsevichs is definitely worth a visit! An ideal place for a photo shoot!

By the way, interesting entertainment events are held here: Skokovsky Balls (January, May, October); military-historical festival dedicated to the theme of the First World War (December).
