Vysokoye. Manor of the Makshytskys.

The Makshytsky estate was built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries in the architectural style of neoclassicism. At different times, the local farm belonged to several owners, who founded a factory and a factory in Vysoky. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Makshytskys became the new owners. In the summer of 1928, a major political event took place in the estate - the First Congress of the Communist Party of Western Belarus was held here. After the Great Patriotic War, the manor building housed a school and then a dormitory. Then it was a residential building for teachers. After the fire, a part of the wooden building burned down and at the present moment urgent restoration is needed. The manor building is a two-story brick building, to which a one-story wooden wing was attached. On the main facade of the building there is a pentagonal bay window with pointed windows. Near the estate is a landscape park around a small stream. The area of the park is about 5 hectares.
