Усадьба в деревне Стралково | Беларусь

Estate in the village of Stralkovo | Belarus:    • Усадьба в деревне Стралково | Беларусь   The estate in the village of Stralkovo was founded in the 1st decade. 20 tbsp. and is an architectural monument in the neoclassical style. On the tympanum of the pediment of the manor house there is a date that may indicate the time of construction - 1909. It was a typical manor of its time. It consisted of a manor house, a complex of outbuildings and a park. The yard belonged to Dominik Stralko (Strzalka) and Jadwiga from the Jankowski family. They had four sons: Stanisław, Stefan, Mieczysław and Alexander, who was to inherit his father's possessions. They also had a daughter, Maria. Dominik Vikentievich was a descendant of a nobleman of the Catholic faith. His father, Vikenty Dominikovich Stralko, owned the Yakshitsky farmstead (20 dessiatines), located in the Kletsk volost of Slutsk district. It is unknown when and how Stralako D.V. bought land for this estate in the Gritsevichi volost. Apparently, the manor house was built in a new location and accordingly named after the owner's surname. It is known that in 1909 Stralkovo was not mentioned among the settlements of the Minsk province. And in the directory of landowners of the Minsk province for 1911, Stralko D.V. and the Stralkovo estate, which had 85 acres, were already listed. During the 2nd All-Russian Agricultural and Economic Census of 1916, Stralkovo was called a farmstead. From 1921 to 1939, Stralkowo belonged to the Nesvizh district of the Novogrudok Voivodeship within Poland. The last owner of the estate was Elena Stralko; the name of her husband, unfortunately, is not known. Elena was raising two daughters - Larisa and Basya. During the Second World War, the family left the family nest and fled abroad. After the war, the estate began to belong to the Soviet authorities. Over the years, 11 families lived in the manor house for a long time. The manor complex once included a manor house, a barn, a servant's house, a gate, a park, and a driveway. Now the manor house is a one-story, rectangular in plan, brick building on a rubble base. The building is covered with a high hipped roof with dormers. It has a symmetrical volumetric-spatial composition. The main north-eastern facade is distinguished by a central rhizolite and a four-column massive portico, completed by a triangular pediment. The monumentality of the main entrance is emphasized by a wide porch, which is made of pink limestone blocks. A wooden barn with a basement has been preserved. Fragments of a regular park and brick pillars of the entrance gate have also been preserved. #Belarus #abandoned #abandoned #abandoned #estate #belarus #Stralkovo #travel #travel
