If you are looking for not just a point in the route, but a real immersion in history, the silence of an ancient park and the almost tangible presence of the past — here you are. The Bulgakov Estate in Zhilichi is a place of amazing strength and noble sadness. Driving up the road, at first you don't see the palace, but its reflection in a huge, mirrored pond. This view works like a time machine: you immediately realize that the creators of the estate thought in terms of eternal beauty and harmony with nature. And even if only a shadow remains of the former gloss, it gives the place a special, deep charm. Atmosphere and impressions: This is a place for a leisurely stroll and reflection. There are no crowds of tourists and annoying noise. Only the rustle of the leaves of ancient trees, the reflection of clouds in the water and a quiet dialogue with history. There is a special poetry in this light neglect of the park and the careful but honest restoration of the building. Advice to a future guest: Set aside at least 2-3 hours for the visit. Be sure to take a walk in the park. Give yourself time to feel the place. And, of course, bring your camera — the views here are incredibly atmospheric, especially in the rays of the setting sun. Result: Zhilichskaya manor is not a glossy postcard, but a living page of the history of Belarus, a little worn out by time, but only more sincere. After her visit, she leaves not just photos, but a feeling — a slight sadness for a bygone era and a quiet gratitude that such islands of memory still keep their secrets and their quiet, majestic beauty for us.

The estate has recently been restored, a lot is still being done around, it is a very promising and beautiful place, and it will be even more interesting later. There is a souvenir shop, but it is better to take cash, the Internet is not working well. There are guided tours, cafes, parking near the estate. The ceilings of the building are very beautiful.

The manor has been restored with dignity. There are few authentic exhibits, I hope so far. Over time, it may become more interesting - the park is being actively restored, and it can also be included in the tour. There are not enough parking spaces on a day off - feel free to drive straight to the mansion and right all the way to the stop - there is a chance to park under the trees. On the ground floor there is a buffet and quite cozy tables. It was delicious for us! You can safely go to a photo shoot, there are places very reminiscent of the interiors of the palaces of Peterhof. For those who find it difficult to walk, there are banquettes in almost every hall and the guide carefully suggests trying them out. The guide Danila is a miracle! On your own behalf: feel free to add to the story the legends about the illegitimate children of the last owners:) They will not claim the inheritance :))) I promise!
