While traveling around Belarus, my family decided to stop by the Bulgakov estate in Zhilichi. I'll start with the road. The quality of the asphalt surface is good. The entrance is weatherproof. Parking is quite spacious, there were enough places for tourist buses and ordinary travelers. Tickets are available for purchase, the price is not high. The cashier accepts cash and cashless payments, which is very convenient. Souvenirs can also be purchased at the ticket office. The staff is friendly and helpful. In the waiting room, you can put on shoe covers and wait for the guide. The wait is not long.. The guides themselves are competent. They talk very interestingly and enthusiastically. They answer all the questions in full. It seems that you yourself are transported through time to that era. The manor has been restored. The craftsmen did a good job, fragments were specially left in some halls to show what happened before and after, and it was restored from photographs. The decoration of the halls is striking in its grandeur. Very impressive. The park is under reconstruction. It's very beautiful here. They'll bring you up to speed soon. They promised carriage rides along the shore of the reservoir. We hope to visit again. I definitely recommend you to visit! It's worth a look and visit.

An interesting place.The territory is beautiful, but renovation work is underway to improve it.Paths are being laid, white outdoor flowerpots were brought, when we beat, they were still packed.A building with columns is being built nearby, a path to the monument is being landscaped, and the building on the territory is also being restored.The manor itself is stunning in its splendor, I can't even believe that this is the house where the family lived.It is better to take an excursion if you are interested in learning about the life of the owners of the estate.Many items were restored based on photos of the owners, some original ones were used by the owners of the estate.Beautiful furniture, floors,amazing ceilings.Tableware,interior items.The estate also has a winter garden, which is maintained in excellent condition.Everything is very beautiful.After the tour, you can take a walk in the courtyard of the manor.The photos are beautiful, the place is impressive.I liked it, I think it's necessary to visit such places.

If you want to admire the architectural masterpieces, then you should visit the Belarusian town of A.G. Zhilichi, where the restored Bulgakov Palace is located today. The visit begins with a meeting with the employees of the ticket office, which immediately gives them a big plus for their loyalty, responsiveness, and competence. We ordered a tour, and again we gave a five to the guide Arseny. The 1 hour and 50 minutes during which he led us through the lavish rooms of the palace flew by like a blink. I would like to note the interesting presentation of the material, the ability to emphasize texture, competence in answering questions. We were lucky, now the 3rd floor of the palace and the tower are open to the public, With a stunning view of the courtyard from the tower. You can walk along the original spiral oak staircase of the 19th century. A visit to the palace by a family or a group of friends is a great time to explore our history and enjoy its preserved and restored monuments. I just wish the cafe would work not until 17.00, but at least as a palace, so that over a cup of coffee you could still enjoy the aftertaste of the beauty you saw! Visit Zhilichi, it's a must see!!!

It's a very beautiful and colorful place!!! The palace is a complete delight. The decoration of the palace itself, stucco molding, parquet are admired, in each room there is a new non-repeating pattern, gilding shows the former greatness and wealth of the owners of the estate. There is a beautiful greenhouse with well-groomed plants. Classical music is playing in the courtyard, which adds to the effect. I sincerely recommend you to visit. And in the near future, the reconstruction of the surrounding area will be completed and it will be possible to enjoy walks in the park and around the lake.

It's a great place. The palace is well renovated, rich decoration. Guided tours for independent travelers are well organized, they are grouped almost every hour and a full-fledged tour is conducted. Reconstruction of the territory and the park is underway. You can get there by yourself by car, there is a good parking lot. You can first visit the estate in Krasny Bereg and then here. Two interesting places in one day

The relatively new restoration of the palace. Everything was done very beautifully, there is something to see, even for such sophisticated people as residents of St. Petersburg. A very beautiful garden is being restored. There are many activities and interesting events. We got to the autumn ball, despite the fact that there were a lot of people, everything was organized at a decent level. The prices are very loyal.

It's not a bad palace. Beautiful, well maintained. The interior is new, but luxurious. The excursions are interesting. There was, in August 2025, a large construction site nearby. That's why the territory is terrible! There is a lot of dust, the road to the palace is broken or the asphalt has been removed, it is noisy. It's definitely worth a visit, but after the end of construction. She ruins everything a lot.

This is a really beautiful and very interesting estate, which is being restored on the one hand on a grand scale, but on the other hand with great attention to detail and creating a holistic picture of the life of a wealthy family in the 19th century. I have been here three times: at the height of the restoration work, immediately after the opening, and in 2025, before the completion of the ponds. The palace is interesting for its history, modern approach to the organization of the estate, and beautiful park. Now, for some reason, it's good if a third of the palace is open to the public, which is frustrating.

The most beautiful estate in Belarus. A lot has been invested in the restoration and it shows. I was here for the first time a couple of years ago, but even during that time a lot has been done. It was my first time visiting the estate with an excursion, and it was very interesting. I was here for the second time at the Verasneuskam Fest, and it's very atmospheric. It is especially pleasant to see dancing couples and musicians in the ballrooms. It breathes life into the palace, it comes to life and ceases to be just a beautiful museum. I definitely recommend you to visit, you will enjoy it.

Very beautiful. Very emotional. It's worth driving 180 km for the sake of impossible work ceilings. The furniture is 90% antique. Everything has been restored based on photos of the interiors of the last owners We took an excursion . a very pleasant impression from the young guide who is very immersed in the topic. I answered all the questions . It wasn't boring or boring The most pleasant emotions . The place is not popular and it is very attractive. We ate in Bobruisk. It's very tasty and not expensive by Minsk standards. Pushkin 202 A separate recommendation. So it hasn't become completely commercial yet. We can go now!!! And you need to 👍

It's beautiful, but the young guides are a gloom...They can't tell interesting stories, half of them have voices that seem to be used for vocal torture...We were shocked. The employees of the halls are much more pleasant and interesting to talk about, ask! There were not enough inscriptions on the exhibits like in a museum, it is very interesting to know the history of things, considering that half of the furniture is new, it is not clear at all whether you are looking at an antique chest of drawers from the 18th century or a new fandok. Please make signs and change the guides (two tall guys). I'm waiting for the restoration of the park to be completed, it will be great!

A wonderful complex! We visited it in July 2025. Excellent restoration. An exposition is being prepared for the opening of the third floor of the palace. A large park is being improved around it, a pond is planned to be restored, and commercial buildings, including a carriage house, are being erected. Classical music is playing in the courtyard. There is a buffet in the palace building. There you can buy coffee, tea, ice cream, chocolate. It's a pleasant place, and we were very pleased with our visit.

Of course, the estate is inferior to the Yekaterinburg Palace in size, but the interior is amazing. Maxim, the guide, came across us and fascinated us with his story. I liked everything and the tour and the work of the restorer and the guide. I strongly advise you to visit. The impressions are no worse than from St. Petersburg. A very positive mood is created, which makes you want to share your impressions.

A beautiful palace, in my opinion, is in no way inferior to Nesvizh. Snow-white, airy, graceful. A lot of things have been restored, there is definitely something to see. Interesting ceilings, I don't remember the name, coffered, it seems, luxurious, according to the guide, very expensive for that time. 3D floors, parquet - you just can't take your eyes off it. At the time I was there, work was underway and not all of the exhibit was available for viewing. I will definitely go again. I definitely recommend including it in the itinerary, you will be pleasantly surprised.

In such a remote place - and such beauty! A huge palace, beautiful restored halls, interesting exhibits. Of course, it is better to book a tour - you will also get interesting stories. But if you just look at the beauty, you can do without a guide. Entrance to the palace is paid, they give out shoe covers. From the entrance, while waiting for the guide, an art exhibition hall is arranged (it's not boring anymore!). There is a cafeteria, toilets. The park has not been repaired yet, as well as the approach to the river - there is still nowhere to walk in good weather.

Restoration work is still underway, floors 3-4 and 1 are still closed, but in the future they will be gradually restored and open to the public.

Very polite and attentive staff, thanks to whom, during the tour, you fully immerse yourself in the life of this estate from the moment of construction to the present day. Next to the estate there is a large park with a lake, which is currently being restored. I highly recommend visiting and exploring the estate with a guide. There is a cafe in the manor house where you can relax.

A great palace! There is something to see and admire. Before the trip, read the history of this place - your impressions will be fuller and brighter. In June 2025, landscaping works were carried out in the park and in the lake area. When they finish, there will be a bomb site in general. It's a pity that catering is poorly represented so far. But, you can drink coffee. If you have something to eat, it's better to take it with you. Although, if desired, you can find fast food in the village.

Such a beauty where no one expected to see... Be sure to stop by along the way or go on purpose. It is better to visit with an excursion after all. We had a male guide (Dmitry, in my opinion) with an unusual and such an original presentation of information that the whole group listened with their mouths open and a smile. There is still work going on around, and in the courtyard... music is playing. Delight! It depends on how much there is in our country after all.

The Bulgakov Palace is located at some distance from the main tourist sites, therefore, I have not heard from anyone among my entourage about it. The palace is called the second Nesvizh, and for good reason. The interior and exterior are amazing! And what amazing ceilings there are! I've never seen anything like it. The winter garden is amazing, well-groomed and beautiful plants, some of which are recognizable as home-grown flowers from the windowsill, only 5 times larger in size. The staff is very friendly, welcome as dear guests. It's very nice when people love their work. There is a cafeteria with inexpensive drinks and cakes in the courtyard, but you won't be able to have a full meal here.

Bulgakov's Palace in Zhilichi. You can describe it for a long time, but it's better to see it with your own eyes. The castle's dimensions, interior decor, huge mirrors, gilding, antique items, and more evoke a genuine sense of delight and admiration. There are not many places in Belarus where you can plunge into and experience the richness and scale of palace life. The ticket price for such a place is ridiculous. 10p for adults and 5p for children.

It's a very beautiful place. The impression is made by the scale of the halls where the scores were held and the family dining room was located. Definitely worth a trip to see. The restoration of the ceilings deserves special attention, it's just a masterpiece!!!! However, it seems as if the palace was not a living space for the Bulgakov family. Among the disadvantages, I would like to draw the attention of the museum administration to the behavior of the guide Igor and the caretakers of the halls. You should not react so much to people discussing what they saw during the tour. Nevertheless, the visitors came to enjoy, listen and relax. I don't really want to walk during the tour with my mouth full of water. No one is talking loudly, interfering with your tour. Many people purposely lagged behind to take pictures and discuss what they saw, to which they received a storm of comments from the caretakers of the halls. Do not gather groups of 40 people, and everything will be fine.

I am glad that something has been done, that the estate is not falling apart, forgotten by everyone, like many monuments of Belarus.So far, few premises are open to the public. Very polite and friendly staff. We took a tour, but it was not very informative, unfortunately. The park and ponds are still in an abandoned state, but the guide said that the project is already on our site, so it's good. Instead of marble, there is painted marble. We were amused by the inventory numbers on the buildings. I recommend it, but later.

It looks beautiful on the outside, and on the inside, too, but without a special story, without historical events. The furniture and interior are antiques of the corresponding era. Among the disadvantages: there is absolutely no prepared territory nearby, there is nowhere to even sit (I hope so far, there are a lot of plans for the conversation), uninteresting guides with a bland description of what you see - this is a chest of drawers, and this is a portrait. When it's finished, there will be +1 place to visit

Plunge into the Grand Manière of Louis XIV.. with its elegance and aristocracy, a light flair of romance and mystery. It seems that even now you can still hear the echoes of lavish soirees, the rustle of crinoline skirts and jerky ..the sounds of the harpsichord fading over the years. Can walls remember bygone times? Everything is here..from the watchman to the guides and local residents, they say unequivocally - yes, they can. This place intrigued and hid a lot! This is Bulgakov.

A very beautiful estate! Anyone interested in architecture should visit it! I have never seen such gorgeous ceilings anywhere in Belarus (famous castles were nowhere near), and every room has a new work of art. It's hard to imagine how difficult it was to recreate such beauty! Looking at this, the thought suggests itself ‐ and where did we take a wrong turn? - when in the 1800s they were able to build like this. And this is not the imperial palace at all..

Now about the amenities: so far there is no private parking, no wi-fi, few signs, so far there is only a small cafe for tea drinking, there is a souvenir shop with adequate prices, good clean bathrooms, courteous service. Both cash and cards are accepted. You can explore on your own, but I recommend using a tour guide. Larisa Viktorovna accompanied us - we had pleasant impressions! Wholeheartedly to this place!
