The future Finnish governor-General received these lands in 1876. In 1884, a manor was built here, a two-level park with interesting trees and plants was laid out: black pine, spiky irga, horse chestnut and other exotic plants, some of them have been preserved to this day.
The estate was built by architects from St. Petersburg, it is a large-scale two-storey red brick house in the Art Nouveau style with elements of pseudo-Russian style standing above the floodplain of the Iput River
Nikolai Nikolaevich Gerard was a justice of the peace of St. Petersburg, and from 1905 to 1908, Governor–General of Finland.
After the revolution, the estate was taken away from the landowner, Gerard himself went to Finland. An orphanage was built in his house in Demyanki.

It's a great place, I'd like to visit it again, but you can conveniently get there from Russia only through Gomel and Dobrush. It is not worth going through the Old Vyshkov, because you need to go through the swamp.
