Vselyub. The O'Rourke Estate.

There are several ancient religious buildings and monuments of history and architecture in the village of Vselyub in the Novogrudok district. The O'Rourke family estate and park have been preserved to this day.


 In the 19th century, Joseph O'Rourke built a manor house in the classical style on the banks of the small river Plisa. A chapel-tomb of the O'Rourke family was built near the estate to the east.

There was an access alley leading to the palace. The landscape-style park is about ten hectares, where there were trails and alleys. There are more than thirty types of trees and ornamental shrubs. There are also exotics.

 The park has the status of a natural monument of national importance.


By 1939, before the arrival of Soviet power, Count Karl Marjan Alexander O'Rourke (1864-1946) was the owner of the estate. The wooden palace has not been preserved to our time. There are several outbuildings and a burial chapel.

 The chapel was built in 1837 in the classical style. The main facade is decorated with four Doric order columns and is completed with a triangular pediment. The temple has been renovated in recent years.
