Volno. Slizen Family Manor.
In the village of Volno, Baranovichi district, a unique Baroque Trinity Church and the remains of the Slizen family estate have been preserved: a park with a pond and a brewery with outbuildings.
If you pass the church on the hill, then immediately beyond the fence of the temple begins the century-old park, where there was once a stone palace. And on the right side there will be a pond near the park. There is an island in the pond that can be accessed via a footbridge.
The park has the status of a natural monument. The manor house in Volno was first found in sources in the 16th century. At that time there were 4 residential buildings and outbuildings: a brewery, a bakery, a sauna and other buildings. The palace was built in the 17th century. At that time, the Kamensky family was the owners here. At that time, the Kamenskys funded the stone Uniate church in Volno, and a Basilian school was opened at the temple.
Then the estate was owned by the Chetvertinskys, and then acquired the estate of Yan Slizen. His son Rafael Slizen was a famous painter, architect and sculptor. In the 19th century, a distillery was built near the pond. The Slizen family owned the village by the time Soviet power came in 1939, and the last owner here was Iza Slizen.
After the Great Patriotic War, the palace was dismantled and a local cultural center was built in its place.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the palace was rebuilt in the Neo-Gothic style. There was a large library in the palace, which Henry Slizen took to Warsaw before the war. A landscape park with an area of about seven hectares has been preserved to this day.
