A magnificent palace!!!! A rich and very beautiful estate. Compare Mirsky and Nesvizh castle. It is very gratifying that there are such places in Belarus! Excellent restoration, wonderful works by Belarusian masters of furniture and casting! It will be even more beautiful with the restoration of the park. Excellent staff work. But there is very little advertising in the media, television, and few souvenirs. We learned from friends, those from their friends... many have not heard, although educated people. That's what needs to be advertised, what needs to be published, there is not enough management and PR.
We are very pleased with the fact that another historical object has been restored in Belarus, which has replenished the piggy bank of cultural heritage. The palace is very interesting from the point of view of architecture. The interiors are also very interesting, given that the reconstruction of the facility has been carried out for 14 years - it is clear that a tremendous and painstaking work has been done. The ceiling decoration is especially impressive - these are really masterpieces. The furniture and other items of the exhibition are selected in the spirit of the times, there are many historical photographs in the premises, which can be used to assess the correspondence of their past and current appearance. Excursions are conducted in small groups to avoid pandemonium, because the rooms in the palace are mostly small in size. Maxim, the tour guide, is a true professional in his field, uses an interesting and relaxed format, has deep knowledge, told a lot of interesting facts, easily answered all the questions asked.
An estate with a very beautiful interior!!!
The architectural and design feature of the palace are its ceilings (carved ceilings, elegant stucco...), which fascinate, antique furniture, chandeliers, paintings, dishes and much more.
Art lovers can spend hours looking at this beauty.
The restoration of the palace was carried out for its 200th anniversary (in 2023) based on old photos (some of which were lost in a fire). Of course, not everything has been restored, but you can already see and plunge into the atmosphere of the 18-19 era.
And believe me, you will not remain indifferent!!!
Thanks to the staff of the palace for the warm welcome!
The only disadvantage is the cafe: stuffy, the service is at a level that cannot be described in words.
A great place to relax on a weekend. Restoration work is still underway, but there is already something to see. The cost of an entrance ticket with a guide is very affordable. I liked everything. I am glad that the restoration of interior details and all the decoration is the work of Belarusian restorers. There are small details in the service that should be tightened up. I definitely expect to return here in a year after the reconstruction of the park. The organizers should consider a recreation service in the park, where you can have a snack with children, hiking, boating.
The manor is interesting. It is very well restored and recreates the atmosphere of its time. The museum staff is very friendly. They know the history of the estate and the fate of its owners well. They talk about it with interest if you ask them a question. As a wish for the organizers, a parking place and signs in the village are required to get to the estate.
A gorgeous place! It was an interesting tour. The place was opened in 2023 for the 200th anniversary of the estate. Spiritual caretakers in the halls. Interestingly, the exhibits were partially bought from collectors, and partially are 'in temporary use'.
Work is still underway around the lake, but it should be completed by the end of 2025.
The place is clearly going to become very popular in the coming years. And very deservedly so.
We were there on Sunday. We just walked through the halls without a guide. I liked it very much: the grandeur of each room, interesting interior, high ceilings. Huge amounts of money have been spent on reconstruction. When you enter the rooms, the reaction is the same: "Wow!" I would like to mention the very polite and tactful caretakers of the halls. No one drove us to leave faster, we had time to look at everything carefully. It was interesting to plunge into that era, to imagine dinners with the conclusion of contracts, balls, tea drinking, card games of those people. To all those who are interested in touching the history, come, you will not regret it. The cost is 10 rubles, with a guide 14. There is a souvenir shop. Take a snack with you if necessary, there is no cafe on the territory, and it is not needed there. There are shops nearby, if necessary. And take a look, it's very interesting there!)
Excellent restoration.Ceilings and floors are generally a separate story.The guide Maxim conducted the tour in an interesting and humorous way, answered all questions.The staff is attentive.There is a souvenir shop, a cafe, a toilet.There is a parking lot. The building has a library and an art school.The park has been launched, but its restoration is in the plans.
It is a very beautiful and atmospheric place. The rich decoration and atypical layout, they worked hard on the reconstruction of this manor, the interior of each room was very well furnished, I advise you to take a tour because the manor itself is not very large, with a tour of the main rooms it took about an hour and a little. In the winter of 2025, another tour of the passages for the servants of the manor should be added , judging by the guide's story , this is a long and intricate network of passages outside the walls of the main rooms and halls . And I would come here again just to visit this tour.
The beauty is unearthly! A gorgeous manor, interesting excursions! There are many locations for photos. We arrived at one o'clock on the weekend. Admission with an excursion cost 14 rubles., without an excursion 10 rubles. But I advise you to take a tour - it's much more interesting! Just watching is one thing, but watching and listening to a story and fun facts is quite another! There is a toilet. There is a cafe with sweets, coffee, tea and cognac.
A beautiful manor house, there is much more furniture than when it was opened. Very polite, pleasant staff. An interesting tour of the estate- I recommend definitely going with a guide.
Convenient parking right at the entrance to the estate.
The surrounding area can still be cultivated.
The cafe, opened at the manor, of course leaves much to be desired. It would be possible to make it more atmospheric, in the style of a manor. Well, the staff in the cafe and the service itself are like in an ordinary rural store.
I recommend visiting the estate at different times of the year - the territory will delight in different ways.
A wonderful beautiful authentic place! Special thanks for the informative, full of interesting facts, excursion to Maxim. I wish there were more such guides in such historical places.
A beautiful, well-restored palace. Quite on a par with Nesvizh, Mir and Kossovo. Another interesting place in Belarus. We enjoyed the tour of the palace and the communication with the museum staff
The Bulgakov Palace should definitely be visited by all residents of Belarus and guests of our country. The palace surprises with its scale and beauty. Relatively recently, it opened its doors to visitors after a long restoration. We visited this place with the whole family and were satisfied! I recommend you to visit!
An excellent palace, a magnificent interior and an interesting story. Separately, I would like to note the wonderful organization of excursions, almost every half hour you can join the national team!!! The guides are knowledgeable and energetic. I recommend you to visit!
The residence of a wealthy nobleman, Bobruisk county marshal Ignat Bulgak [bel.] (1798-1848) in the village of Zhilichi, built in the 1830s by his order and designed by architect Karol Podchashinsky on the banks of the Dobosna River.
The residential residence is designed in the same classical style: austerity of lines, clarity and simplicity of silhouette, Ionic columns, porticos with refined stucco, rounded arches…
There were about a hundred rooms in the palace: banquet and ballrooms, many living rooms and salons, galleries, a house chapel, and a greenhouse. The rooms were arranged in a certain order, which is also one of the features of classicism.
The interiors are luxurious: all ceilings with elegant moldings, expensive furniture and carpets, artistic parquet floors made of various types of wood (there are even 3D effect!). Without a doubt, many of the rooms were designed to showcase the impressive collections of the hosts to the guests.
A very interesting place, definitely worth a visit! It is not expensive, especially when you consider that excursions are not even for groups! The interior is simply gorgeous! The staff is polite and friendly!
Many thanks to the guide Igor!
a gorgeous complex, worth a visit. The restorers did a great job. special thanks to the guide Maxim. he is a very energetic person who is passionate about his business and presents the material perfectly, and also sincerely wants to answer all questions
A good historical site. An interesting tour. It can really be called the "Pearl of the Mogilev region". It is very unexpected to see such a palace in the countryside. I hope the park and pond will be restored soon. There are also not enough equipped parking lots and well-organized catering with a twist. The cafe inside the museum is about nothing. If we organized an entertaining leisure so that we could walk with our family all day, it would be cool. For example, carriage riding, archery, immersion in the life of that era, theatrical events with the participation of tourists, etc. And so literally 1 hour and there is nothing to do... Although it is a very promising object.
It's a good impression. The palace impresses with its size and former luxury. Unfortunately, not all rooms are open to the public. Group tours are conducted for an hour.
There is a small park around. But the restoration has only just begun.
What a beautiful place appeared on the tour map of our country!A lot of positive emotions, a wonderful guide, amazing interiors!You need to advertise yourself widely so that people know about this beautiful palace!Thank you very much!
It's a very beautiful place. I completely agree that this place is called the "Belarusian Versailles". An interesting tour with a pleasant guide. The man tells it very interestingly and with a soul. We will definitely come back here again.
I liked it very much, the excursions and the guide himself are wonderful. We will definitely come back when the other part is opened. Minus a point for the staff and the cafe itself, we waited for the opening for 30 minutes because it was very hot and I wanted to buy some water. When people began to get indignant and knocked to find out about the opening, since there was a 15-minute break on the sign, a formidable woman came out and shouted at everyone that I accept the goods, wait. Going into the cafe, she also psychotically served people that everyone bought water and left faster. Anything to avoid spoiling your mood and the impression of the tour.
We were shocked by what we saw, what restorers did well, they restored such beauty. It is better to take a ticket with an excursion, they will tell and show everything in detail and interestingly, they will answer all questions. In June 2024, the ticket price with an excursion is 14p, children's 7p. You need to go to Zhilichi for a few hours, an hour tour, arrange a photo shoot in the courtyard, take a walk around the surrounding area. And you can also have a snack in the cafe.
Awesome palace! I didn't know we had such a thing!!! The interior, the architecture, the staff, everything is on top!!! There is a great cafeteria, everything is new, clean and beautiful
I was very surprised by this place. A beautiful palace and an interesting tour. Ticket prices are low. I would really like to return in five years when the restoration of the 3rd floor and the surrounding area is completed.
A very beautiful restored castle in its original appearance. They hold balls, celebrations and events. I definitely advise you to visit. There is something to see, and if you get to the celebration, you will have a great rest
It's a very interesting place. To give it its due, the restorers did a great job. I recommend studying with a guide. A very interesting story, historical facts. It is a pity that the corridors for servants have not yet been opened for viewing, as well as there is no opportunity to look into the cellars of the palace. I hope that such an opportunity will be provided soon and this will be an occasion to visit this place again. By that time, the pond and park near Dvartsa may also be cleared. The work is already underway.
In my opinion, it is average. Yes, the building has been restored, and it is generally pleasant to be there. But there are not enough exhibits. Without an excursion, the inspection will take no more than half an hour. There are a lot of people coming, whole buses. Weekend excursions are a stream. Accordingly, the small halls are cramped and bustling. The guides themselves tell an interesting story.
Admission for adults is 10 BYN without an excursion, 14 with an excursion, but it is only a group and at a certain time. Whether it is worth going 200 km one way from Minsk is a big question.
I visited the palace on a tour bus, so I have no idea how to get there in another way. It's worth seeing the palace. Interior interiors. Very decent. There were no other additional exhibitions or compositions during my visit. There is a gorgeous park around where you can take a walk. They said there was a cafe at the palace. I haven't visited.
Most likely, in the old days it was beautiful, but now it has been very modernized, sometimes it is not clear whether this or that attribute was in fact or it was a free fantasy of the restorer. In addition, most of it is now devoted to the needs of the city. What really let me down is the surrounding area, outbuildings are almost destroyed, and the park is not particularly friendly to visitors, I hope it's only a matter of time to fix this.
The palace has been well restored, and the park is under restoration. The ideal guide Ekaterina, you will not regret, will tell you everything) There are not many such places in Belarus.
A magnificent museum complex. I recommend visiting one of the weekends. You can learn a lot about the history of our beautiful country, the Republic of Belarus. One of the most beautiful estates.
A perfectly done restoration. Every hour is a team tour, you don't need to book anything, you arrive at the beginning of the hour and wait for the group to gather. Admission without an exa costs 10 rubles, with an exa - 14. Do not spare 4 rubles, the guide will show you where to look. Otherwise, the palace and the palace, ceilings and ceilings 😄
If you missed the start of the tour, you can wait in the cafe, it is in the courtyard.
The place is of extraordinary beauty and every year it gets better and more interesting, by the summer of 2025 additional halls and the belvedere tower, as well as a partially park area, should open
It's a very beautiful place. I definitely recommend buying tickets with a guided tour. We really enjoyed the tour. After that, we walked around again ourselves. We took a photo. We bought souvenirs
The museum is not on the radar yet. But everything is ahead. The size is impressive, there is a lot of "native" things in the estate. Pleasant staff, answers any questions (unlike the rude and irritated caretakers of the Mir Castle). A good tour was conducted, with dates, with history.
It is a very beautiful palace, even though not all rooms are available for display yet. An interesting tour. The park is also still under restoration, but it is also beautiful. I didn't think there was such beauty in the Mogilev region.
A very beautiful house.... A wonderful guide.... Special thanks to him! They promise to build a park around the estate soon and it will be even better and more pleasant!
A great place, the whole family really liked it, the tour was held with interaction with the audience, it was interesting, and most importantly - very beautiful
A beautiful manor! Everything is done very beautifully, the tour is interesting and it is clear that the staff are devoted to this place. I will also note the coffee shop, where you can drink coffee and eat dessert. There may be a little lack of music, for the atmosphere, but the woman who makes coffee is very pleasant and sweet! We will be waiting for further restoration, the impressions of the trip are the most positive!
In order to understand how wonderful and beautiful it is here. It is necessary to come and see with your own eyes, the floor in 3 d was invented before our bright days, everything is restored, amazing. You only understand how rich families lived here. The estate has survived to the present day, survived the Second World War. Now festivals are held here, according to the way of life of those times, the spectacle is excellent.
Very beautiful! It takes pride in such a compatriot. It is a pity that all this was looted, but now it is good that the state is restoring it. Be sure to take a tour, otherwise it's just a beautiful house
A beautiful monument that tells through the centuries about the life of representatives of the nobility. Thanks to the leadership of the Republic of Belarus, the restorers, and the guides for the opportunity to see our history!
A very beautiful palace, one hundred percent we need to take a tour, we really liked it in the park area there is nothing to see yet, but inside there is a very beautiful decoration on the territory there is a cafe where you can sit and eat
It's a great place. There is a lot of pride in what is being restored. At the same time, people are not indifferent. It's beautiful and interesting. Go on, we'll come back. This place would have a good advertisement
The estate of late classicism in the agro-town of Zhilichi on the Dobrosna river, I am delighted that such architectural monuments are being restored in my Homeland!there are original interiors, dishes, clothes, this is a place where you should come on the weekend! unfortunately, the tourist infrastructure is not very developed, where you can relax and eat, But it's a matter of time, I put 10 out of 10, and now rapeseed is blooming and it turns out gorgeous photos in the fields))
Great, I didn't expect to see such beauty. In general, I admire the restoration of other places. But it has a special potential. The building was not actually damaged during the Soviet years, and the interior and exterior decoration were restored according to the preserved photo archives. In some halls, these photos from the beginning of the 20th century are on display, you can compare how it was before and the existing interiors. If you add a photo from the intermediate years of Soviet power, it does not hurt. This way, in my opinion, it will be possible to assess the scale of the restoration. The tour is fascinating, much is known about the life of the founders of the estate. Adopting the experience of other museums in the world, I would suggest serving dishes from the era of the 19th century when the Bulgakovs lived and what exactly they ate and liked. Of course, after the restoration of the park, this estate will become even more attractive. Personally, I would like to install a charging station for electric vehicles. It is convenient for the museum to have a penny in the budget for electric wires.
Just a delight. The beauty is breathtaking. It was opened 2 years ago. The restoration took 15 years. You can take a walk yourself, you can take a guided tour. The ticket, if by yourself, is 10 rubles. I recommend.
