Zapolye. The Plyater Manor.

If you drive to the city of Pinsk from the M–10 Brest – Gomel highway, then there will be a place Zapolye on the right side of the suburb. This is already a suburb of Pinsk, but legally it is considered the village of Zapolye in Pinsky district. In the center of the village is the manor of the Plyaters. From Pinskaya Street, turn onto Parkovaya Street and drive to the end of the street and from the right you will see a park where you can park your car and walk through the park and approach the palace.

Zapolye was first mentioned in the 15th century and belonged to the Tyshkovichi at that time. In the 16th century, it was the possession of the Pinsk starosta Kaspar Ivanovich, and then of the Vishnevetskys. In the 17th century, the princes of Drutsky-Lyubetsky ruled here, then it passed to the Puslovskys. The last king of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Grand Duke of Lithuania, Stanislav August Poniatowski, visited the estate in 1784, for whom a solemn reception was organized.

Since 1872, the estate, as a dowry of Genovefa Puslovskaya, passed to Count Plyater. After the First World War, Marjan Stefan Vandalin Plyater made Zapolye the center of his possessions. After the Riga Peace of 1921, Plater was the host here until 1939.

During this interwar period, a new palace was built. The building is wooden, one–storeyed, built in the traditions of manor buildings of the turn of the 18th - 19th centuries with elements of Baroque and classicism. Around the palace there is an ancient landscape-regular park in which there are old oak trees that are 200 years old.
