Description

The former building of the gates-table of the Obukhovich estate in Velikaya Lipa is a real architectural mystery. Its construction dates back to the 19th and 20th centuries. It has a laconic appearance and bright decorative elements: inside the frame you can see stucco cartouches in the form of knight's armor. The former building of the brahma stable is difficult to attribute to any architectural style.

The former building of the gates-stable of the Obukhovich estate in Velikaya Lipa.

Once upon a time, the lands in the village of Velikaya Lipa near Nesvizh belonged to the Radziwills. Later, these lands passed into the possession of the Obukhovich family. It was during their time that a rich estate appeared here, unfortunately, today there is little left of it. These are just a few outbuildings on the outskirts of the village, which can be used to judge the scale of the former estate. One of these buildings is a snow–white squat temple.

In addition to its main function, the Gates had another purpose: a stable was located right in it. The main entrance to the estate was through this gate, which was flanked on both sides by the steins. Judging by their size, the Obukhovichi had a lot of horses! The entrance to the stable is organized right there, and the doorways are decorated with a pointed arch and stucco cartouches with knightly attributes.


This is a very unusual detail that is hidden in the arch. It is very interesting to look at the well-preserved sculptures in the form of busts of brave knights on the walls of the Gates. These decorative elements give the building a special charm and mystery.

It is known that for a long time the tunnels were open and you could walk along them. Now, unfortunately, everything is boarded up. Locals say that in the 1990s, gates burned, and then it was redone. So today's view of the gates is not entirely authentic.
