The ruins of brewery from the former Domansky estate.

In the village of Zalyadye there was an estate belonging to the Nesvizh branch of the Radziwill family. In 1821, the estate passed into the possession of Victorin Domansky, who served as a judge in the Slutsk municipality. After his death, the estate passed to his son Kazimir, and then to his daughter Jadwiga. After Jadwiga's death, the estate was acquired by her cousin, Leonard Domansky (1830-1892), who was married to Sofia Voynilovich. Their sons, Zygmunt and Leon, became the last owners of the estate.


The estate was located on a hill, offering a picturesque view of the sprawling valley. The one-story wooden house owned by Domansky was built deep in the manor grounds around the middle of the 19th century. The main facade stood out with an impressive six-columned portico, which was brought forward in such a way that carriages could freely pass between the columns and the wall of the house. Around 1897, additional rooms were added to the eastern part of the house.


Inside the house there was a greenhouse, furniture made by local craftsmen, portraits of family members, a collection of Saxon porcelain and Dutch faience, products made of Urech glass, a small library and archive. In addition to the main house, two ancient buildings made of clay with the addition of heather adjoined the main courtyard, which were usually used for household needs or guest accommodation. There was a bakery and a glacier next to the apartment building.


The courtyard of the manor was decorated with a landscape park, laid out at the end of the 19th century by a gardener named Rynsky. A variety of flowering shrubs grew in the park, such as forsythia, viburnum, roses and lilacs, as well as walnut, horse chestnut, beech, prickly spruce, Siberian fir and larches.

The original layout of the park has not been preserved. Only groups of trees and overgrown shrubs of lilac, caragana, hawthorn and elder have survived to this day.


Of all the buildings on the estate, only the brick walls of the former brewery have survived.

Even in ruins, this building attracts attention with high-quality baked brick masonry and decorative elements.

Currently, the ruins are included in the list of facilities where financing can be transferred to investors.
