A very beautiful Belitsa estate, founded around 1550 in the village of The flame of the Vitebsk region, which at various times belonged to the Glebovichi (Chancellor Incl.) Sapieha (Hetman ON), Zenovich (Polotsk castellan) and Svyatsky.
With the latter, it has reached its maximum development. There was an alcohol factory, a cattle yard and a cheese factory, known throughout the Russian Empire under the brand name Dobra Bielica, K. Swiackiego. A steam engine was working, there was a mill, a beautiful park and a lake, next to which it is not a sin to roll 0.5 in one person even now.
But the most interesting thing from modern history is that in 1903-04 the great Yanka Kupala managed to work as a clerk at the estate. It is said that the classic was too kind, and therefore did not have much success in managing farmhands. For that, he wrote excellent poems, perhaps looking at the beauty around him.
After the revolution, the owners retreated to Poland, after which the estate had a school, a technical school, and garrisons at various times. There was an attempt at restoration, but in the end it all ended in a fire, being pulled apart into bricks and complete ruin in the 90s.
Now the estate is in disrepair, but still conveys the spirit of its great history. Maybe someday she will find a new life, there will be delicious cheese or great beer…
