The building of the Jesuit Collegium of the XVIII century in Zhodishki.
The 18th-century building of the Jesuit Collegium, made in Baroque style, is located on the territory of the former Mickiewicz estate. At the request of Barbara Mickiewicz's son, she transferred Zhodiski and five neighboring villages to the administration of the Catholic Jesuit Order in 1708. The monks founded the collegium, which was temporarily housed in wooden buildings. The construction of the new stone building began half a century later, and it was completed in 1770.
After the order was banned in the territory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, when the order soon left these lands, this building was transformed into a palace. In different historical periods, the Potocki, Laskaris and others were the owners of the estate. It was Count T. Laskaris who converted the collegium into a manor house.
After the Second World War, it was planned to create a sanatorium here, but the plans were not implemented and the building became a psychiatric hospital.
The building is empty today. The mental hospital was closed just a couple of years ago.
