A charming place, a beautiful exposition. I was impressed by the small but cozy greenhouse. We enjoyed drinking coffee with freshly baked local bread. The guide's story is very interesting. We will be happy to come again. The only thing is, the navigator leads to the back of the manor, to the stable. You need to follow the pointer to the estate and leave the car in an organized parking lot.

A fabulous place. You enter the manor and you are greeted by magical music... POLONAISES... The museum is interesting. The exhibits are unusual and interesting. Thanks to the team!
And for the mood - a great addition - hot delicious croissants!!! I recommend it!!!
The territory is large for a good walk. In spring, the apple orchard is obviously beautiful...
the museum's wish
is to install more benches along the pond, on the lawns.

Historical sites of our Homeland. The building itself is in excellent condition, everything is neat and clean. The territory itself is well maintained, everything is mowed down and there is no debris lying around. I liked the interior, especially the fireplaces and the snooker table.
The museum itself has an excellent and promising future in its plans.
It is advisable to come there on weekends, then you can see the stable and ride for an extra. payment by carriage.
Among the disadvantages: a poor choice of the cafeteria assortment, come there on a full stomach; a small display of clothes from that era.
I can recommend this place to those who are interested in the historical past of our country.

The atmosphere of that time is well conveyed. The estate impresses with various exhibits. I especially liked the greenhouse in the manor itself. You can ride in a cart on the territory, you will be driven by real horses, which will be driven by a coachman! There is a mini-cafe, so you will not stay hungry. If you go from Minsk, it is quite possible to take 30 rubles per person. This is taking into account commuter trains, visits to the estate and the museum

Oginsky Manor is a monument of manor and park architecture of the XIX century, located in the agro—town of Zalesye, Republic of Belarus. The manor was built by the famous Polish politician and composer Mikhail Oginsky, the author of the famous polonaise.
The construction of the palace in the classical style took place in 1802-1822, in addition to it, the manor complex includes several other buildings of varying degrees of preservation and the remains of the park. The estate is included in the State List of Historical and Cultural values of the Republic of Belarus. The estate stands on the banks of a dam on the small Dry River, a tributary of the Vilia, located a kilometer west of the village center.
In the 80s of the XX century, it was planned to organize a sanatorium-dispensary on the basis of the estate, but later these plans were abandoned. Minimal conservation work was carried out on the palace, after which it was transferred to the balance of the Ministry of Culture.
In 2011, a major restoration of the estate was started, the Oginsky Palace after the restoration was inaugurated on September 26, 2014. Since 2015, work has been carried out in the park complex and outbuildings, and was completed by September 25, 2015, the 250th anniversary of Mikhail Oginsky's birth. After the restoration, the estate housed a museum and cultural center.
Admission is 6 rubles

Wonderful impressions from the visit. You immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the times of M.K. Oginsky. A variety of excursions are offered. There are guest rooms for those who want to stay overnight. For a fee, you can hold a photo shoot or a wedding. The park deserves special attention. The entrance is equipped with a ramp. If there is a ramp to the winter and summer greenhouse. There are various types of plants in the winter greenhouse. I recommend you to visit)

Quite a good restoration, everything looks very nice and pleasant. But honestly, the number of paintings printed on canvases personally upset me… Printing is not of the best level, it is better to order reproductions of paintings than to fill all the halls with seals on canvas.
Interesting furniture exhibits, I really liked the snooker table. An impressive greenhouse, there are even tangerines And very tasty croissants in the local cafeteria on the 1st floor near the greenhouse.
I would like to see a functioning water wheel at the mill.

This is a place of attraction, a place of power! There is some extraordinarily positive energy there!
To be honest, I drove from Minsk with a skeptical attitude, but I was very impressed by what I saw!
The manor and the museum are not as big as, say, the Golitsyn or Sheremetyevo estates in the Moscow region, there is no gilding and gloss.
However, it is clear that everything was done with a soul, there are many authentic objects, interior elements and furniture of the era when Oginsky created.
It really feels like you're touching history here.
In many ways, this impression is facilitated by the museum staff, who conduct excursions not just in costumes of that time, not just at a high professional level, but, most importantly, with a soul!
We will definitely come here again for a costume ball. I'm sure it will be wonderful!

A very nice manor house. Oginsky was happy here, his children grew up here, he could study music, walk and enjoy the beauty of nature. As everywhere in Belarus, the territory is well maintained. A large park, bridges, a beautiful lake, several gazebos and memorial stones on the territory of the park. Previously, the park was all planted with flowers. Oginsky was very fond of flowers. And they were everywhere, along the roads, in the palace, in the park, under the windows of the palace. The palace itself is made in a classical manner, its construction was carried out from 1802 to 1815 (architect Jozef Pousset) . There are many beautiful and unusual, antique interior items inside the palace. There is a greenhouse. Balls and musical evenings are now held in the manor. We had a tour conducted by a man, who told us very interesting things. You will learn about Oginsky as a politician (music is a hobby). Immerse yourself in the life of that era. Find out how the fate of Oginsky's children turned out. This manor was painted by Napoleon Orda and the restoration of the manor was carried out according to his drawings.
I advise you to visit the estate, and if you manage to get to a ball or a musical evening, you will have even more impressions)

A great museum! They are watching the territory, there is Parking. It was very interesting to visit, we listened to the audio tour. Admission is free on the second Tuesday of each month. Oginsky had an interesting and eventful life.
Leaving the Republic of Belarus, we noticed the Oginsky coat of arms ("Oginets") on the coat of arms of Liozno, as it turned out, this is the ancestor's patrimony. As well as Liozno - the small homeland of the artist M. Chagall.

The manor itself is beautiful, atmospheric, immerses in that era. Furniture, paintings, letters, books... Definitely worth a visit. But there are points that need to be worked on. We were on Thursday, excursions are conducted only by appointment, and without it, the entire exposition can be viewed in 20 minutes. The stable is open only on Saturdays, we couldn't see it. But I would especially like to mention the skinny white cat on the territory of the museum. Guys, feed the cat, he's the caretaker of the manor, you can tell the face!!! Take an example from St. Petersburg, where the seals are dependent on the palace. This thin character leaves a sad mark on the heart...

Quite a pleasant and interesting place to walk. The rooms are not empty - there is a lot of furniture, muses.the instruments of those times, there is something to look at. As a plant lover, I especially liked the greenhouse))))) there are plans to open a stable (18.05), it will become even more lively. We were on Saturday an hour and a half before closing time - there were not many people, it was quite quiet and calm for photos without strangers) . There is also a place to walk in the park, we went up to the Chinese house, went to the altanka. The mill is closed, I hope there are plans to somehow bring it into a condition suitable for studying from the inside. It doesn't look bad from the outside)) There is a lake and an island nearby. in the cafe, croissants are made, as I understand it, by order. You can order, and while you walk around the park and the greenhouse, they will be ready. In general, it took an hour and a half. A good place!!!)

A gorgeous manor house, inside a large museum with interesting exhibits. Excursions are only for groups and by appointment for many days in advance, but thanks to an employee named Sergey, he advised you to download (even helped connect to WiFi) the easy travel application and use it as an audio guide. There is also a small buffet with Americanos and croissants, which you can even order in advance and they will be served to you with fervor. They said that the filling alternates by the day and, by the way, they do not save it. In general, you can take a walk in the park, a very pleasant place.

You can take a carriage ride around the territory.

З нечаканага для звычайнага чалавека:
— невялікія, аднак, памеры комнат аказаліся ў князя,
— уразіла акустыка ў альтанцы.
З чаканага (на жаль):
— у музеі-сядзібе выдатнага дзеяча Рэчы Паспалітай на зямлі Вялікага княства Літоўскага не гучала ані польская, ані беларуская мовы...
З прыемнага:
— "ролевыя" экскурсаводы ў адпаведным адзяянні,
— QR-коды дзеля самастойнага азнаямлення з асобай Агінскага і яго творамі,
— чысцюткая вада ў рачулцы-ручаі.
Непрыемнага няма...

A well-restored manor house with a small park. Externally, the estate has not changed, but the interior has been rebuilt and repaired many times. The owners of the estate changed, at one time there was even a nursing home in it. So there are not many exhibits that directly belonged to Mikhail Kleofas Oginsky, most often they are just things from the beginning of the XIX century. The estate houses the museum itself with greenhouses, a watermill, a lake, several objects in the park, a chapel and a lime alley at the entrance. You will definitely remember an unusual tour of the museum. The staff talks about the composer's life and work on behalf of his relatives and relatives in costumes appropriate to the era. It was interesting.

To say that I really liked this place would not be entirely true. Of the whole trip, the manor made the strongest impression. It was a real discovery for my husband and me. Firstly, the place is very beautiful and well maintained. Secondly, the content of the museum part is very interesting. And the most pleasant bonus turned out to be a greenhouse and a garden! We are in the flowering season of dahlias, and there are a great many and variety of them here. I advise everyone to visit, especially in August.

We did a graduation party for children. There were no special expectations. But it turned out just amazing. Especially dancing is unusual, we learned to dance polka and waltz. From the strange. On the territory of the estate, in such a beautiful place, people stopped by in a Lada and ... fried kebabs, sitting on chairs near the ‘amphitheater’, near the gazebo. It would not hurt to remove plastic bags on the paths, it was a little dirty near the benches.

Very atmospheric place! You plunge into the architecture of "Northern Athens" Walking through the halls to the music of a talented composer, it seems that you yourself are joining the life of the Oginsky family, and you want to dance to his Polonaise, listen to a concert organized by the composer!!! The greenhouse, the park ensemble, the furniture of the composer's era are all harmonious and memorable, we will definitely come back again! And, of course, many thanks to the girls in the coffee shop who treated them to fragrant coffee and delicious croissants!!! The trip was unforgettable!

The family has owned these lands since the beginning of the XVIII century. When they passed to Mikhail Kleofas, the estate consisted of a wooden manor house and several outbuildings.
The composer had to leave the country for a while. In 1802, he returned to Zalesie and launched a vigorous activity – he began the construction of an exquisite stone palace.
The work took almost 20 years, and as a result, a new classical–style building appeared on the site of the wooden manor house - with columns, a solemn front entrance and a rich greenhouse of exotic plants, in which, by the way, you can leisurely drink a cup of coffee and taste local freshly baked croissants.
The manor was restored in 2015 in honor of the 250th anniversary of the birth of the composer, who lived in it from 1802 to 1822. Restorers restored it to its original appearance, restored the interiors and breathed into the premises the unique spirit of that time. Now there is a museum here. During the tour you will hear the soulful polonaise in A minor and other works by the author.

A beautiful, cozy place to get acquainted with the history of music and the life of the famous composer. The park is large enough for a walk and picnic. By the way, you can ride in a horse-drawn carriage through the park. The estate itself and some outbuildings are presented for inspection. There is a small cafe in the estate, or rather a counter where you can buy tea/coffee, ice cream and croissants of your own production. You can also admire paintings by local artists on the territory of the estate - an exhibition of paintings is presented in a separate hall. And the greenhouse, in which, thanks to the huge windows, and the light-shadow pattern, unrealistically beautiful photos can turn out. Since we examined the estate on our own (without a guide), the most memorable was the interactive box and a mini concert hall where you can sit down and enjoy the music of the great composer (recording from a laptop, but still). The full ticket cost us 10 BYN. The price includes a visit to the manor, gallery, greenhouse, two gazebos in the park and photography (on your phone / camera).
Among the disadvantages, I can note the lack of opportunity to get a tour upon arrival. We were told that they were scheduled for a year in advance. It would not be superfluous to have a full-fledged cafe with tables on the terrace (in my dreams). I definitely recommend you to visit! Overall, the impression is very pleasant👍

A great museum. The staff is fanatical, the entrance ticket is 4 rubles, with an excursion - 6 rubles. There is no queue, come in and see. The exposition is unique, antique furniture of that time, many outdoor exhibits: agricultural items, sledges, agricultural machinery of that time, carpentry tools, harness parts. The manor is magnificent, the house itself is of excellent architecture and well adapted for life, even above the building there is a working clock that gives out a melody and strikes the clock. A wonderful park with a Chinese gazebo and a second unusual one with columns. There is a watermill, a stable, the Oginsky family chapel, an economic block, a greenhouse and a gallery with a cafe are adjacent to the main building. There is a large pond nearby, which was created for the mill, but it greatly decorates the park, there is a bridge to the swan island. Everything looks great and was very well adapted for life. It feels like a lot of effort and money had to be spent to make it all look real. Many thanks to the team. There is a large, well-equipped parking lot next to the estate, there is plenty of space there. On the day of the visit, they were going to have a wedding in the cafe, before that the bride did a photo shoot. By the way, girls, note: a great place to leave a photo in memory of the wedding. Mir Castle and Nesvizh have somehow already become familiar, and the Oginsky estate is full of excellent and unfamiliar views. I recommend a visit.

The history of the museum begins in 1996, when the estate of M. K. Oginsky became a branch of the State Museum of the History of Belarusian Literature. On September 25, 2014, the official opening of the M. K. Oginsky estate museum took place, and a year later, on the 250th anniversary of the composer, the current museum exposition opened. A good tour that I recommend to take is 30 rubles to plunge you into the life of Mikhail Oginsky, a prominent statesman for whom music was just a hobby.
