One of the most original and well-preserved manor houses in Belarus. A piece of the entrance alley, park and pond have also been preserved. There is a direct bus from Baranovichi bus station several times a day to Yastrembel, from the stop to the estate - a hundred meters. You need to go straight from the bus stop through the park, they don't let you through the cadet school anymore.
We got to the estate by chance, we were in the animal park nearby and then decided to go somewhere else and the choice fell on the Kotlubaev estate located nearby.
At the entrance to the estate, we saw the cadet corps, parked the car next to it and saw cadets cleaning the territory behind the fence. At first, the idea came to my mind that we would not be welcome here, somehow the everyday life of the cadets and the tourists who came from nowhere decided to explore the estate did not connect in my head into a single picture, but at their own risk they decided to go to her. Our expectations were not fulfilled by the word at all.
Surrounded by cadets, the teacher of this institution, Vasily Konstantinovich, attached a sign to a fence made of metal mesh about conducting excursions around the estate, in fact, he offered us to conduct an excursion, we naturally agreed. With his stories about the history of the estate, the history of the cadet corps, interesting facts and the lives of the people of this place, we just got lost for 2 hours. Vasily Konstantinovich narrated his story with such enthusiasm, admiration, not without a share of humor and sadness, with poems and photographs of these places. The cadets took us inside the ruined manor and also told us a lot of interesting things about their life and being in the cadet corps. We also went to the mini-museum of the cadet corps, where all the exhibits were collected and presented within the walls of this institution by our magnificent narrator.
Thanks to the cadets of the Brest Cadet School and special thanks to Vasily Konstantinovich for a great tour!!!
Сядзіба Катлубаяў. Род Катлубаяў мае татарскае паходжанне. Сядзіба ў стылі эклектыкі была пабудавана ў 1897 годзе Генрыкам Катлубаем. У 1911 годзе зямля была падзелена паміж яго сынамі – Эдвардам і Міхалам. Апошнім уладальнікам сядзібы быў Зыгмунд Катлубай. У 1939 годзе яго арыштавалі савецкія ўлады, праз год ён памёр у турме; сядзіба ж была разрабавана. У 1970-ых гг у будынку зраблі школу-інтэрнат. З 1991 года сядзіба доўгі час знаходзілася ў запусценні. У 2010-ых гг была праведзена кансервацыя будынка.
Шыкоўная сядзіба, мае асабістыя рэкамендацыі наведаць яе.
