Zadveya. The estate of the Mezheevskys-Chechots.

In the Baranovichi district, near the large settlements of Volno and Polonechka, there is a small village of Zadveya very close by. There was a manor house in the village and several interesting outbuildings remained.

Zadveya was first mentioned in historical sources in the 15th century during the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. It was part of the Novogrudok district and belonged first to the Chemrovichs, and then to the Gasthold magnates. In the 17th and 19th centuries, the owners of the village were Makushinskys, Mezheevskys and Chechots. A palace and a church were built under the Chechots, which have not survived to our time. The palace and park complex was built in the 18th century, and according to some sources - much earlier.

Matsej Mezheevsky, a participant in the Napoleonic Wars, comes from the Mezheevsky family, who received Napoleon's personal respect for his bravery. And already his granddaughter married Ignatiy Chechot in 1891, and until 1939 the estate in Zadveya belonged to the Chechot family.

After the partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as part of the Russian Empire.

From 1921 to 1939, it was part of the Polish state.

To this day, several stone buildings have been preserved from the estate.

Special attention is drawn to the Ledovnya (refrigerator building), which it's more like some kind of chapel or temple. The Ledovnya was built in the first half of the 19th century under Mezheevskys. The building has a square shape, round windows and a two-story roof. Ledovnya was built in the Neo-Gothic style. In addition to it, there are still a few stone outbuildings.
