The last owner of the estate was Florian Bochwitz, but in 1939 he had to leave the family nest. Since then, a difficult life period in the history of this architectural monument has begun.
In Soviet times, a military hospital was located in the manor building. In 1995, the hospital was closed, and since then the palace has been in disrepair. However, it has recently been restored. On the one hand, the facade has already been painted over in one of the most favorite colors of Belarusian builders – pale pink. Therefore, if you prefer to wander through abandoned buildings, hurry up to see, it seems that the building will be transformed very soon.
From the outside, the manor looks solid and solid – without holes in the walls and roof. It is especially important that all the Neo-Gothic "teeth" on the facade, which are the architectural feature of the building, have been preserved. However, no former luxury can be found inside: there are only shabby walls and traces of the difficult Soviet past.
A wonderful place to walk at any time of the year. It is easy to get there without a car - from the Gritsevets railway station on foot about three kilometers along a magnificent forest road. The estate has begun to be renovated, although it seems to me that it would be better to preserve it, otherwise I feel that there will be another tourist facility a la Belarus. A stone's throw from the manor house on the banks of the Kocheryshki river there is a pretty gazebo for a picnic, unfortunately full of household garbage left by uncultured visitors.
Hello, friends. Bokhvitsi Manor. After the turn, the road to the manor begins along an alley of lime trees. Huge, big, beautiful, stately lime trees. And yes, they are very grown-up. You can walk a little along the brick road. The estate began to be restored. Plastic windows and doors were installed. Grilles on the windows of the basement.
In front of the porch of the main entrance, you can admire the stately oaks and linden trees.
