A beautiful manor house, I want to consider it despite its dilapidated condition. You can't get inside. The family archive has preserved photos of this estate in the 60-70 years, the condition was excellent! Unfortunately, Grafsky Park is not well maintained, I think that there is simply no one to take care of it. But the huge oak tree is a place of attraction for both tourists and locals today.

After the first partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Russian Empress Catherine II granted the village of Grudinovka with serfs, 19 thousand dessiatines of land and forests to Count Dmitry Tolstoy. At first, the Tolstoy family lived in a large wooden house built on the shore of the lake. Later, it was replaced by a stone building in the classical style. An English-style park was laid out in front of the estate on an area of 10 hectares. His composition is based on the principle of long-range perspectives. Oaks, birches, pines, firs, thuja, and Siberian cedar grow here. In addition, there are more than 40 plant species in the park, some of which are found nowhere else in Belarus. From 1804 to 1823, a factory, a breeding stud, a glass factory and a brewery appeared on the estate, and an oil mill and a cheese factory operated next to the house. These were the heyday of the family nest.

It's an incredibly beautiful building. There are two feelings, however, at the sight of him. On the one hand, there is admiration for the architecture and the good condition of the materials, and on the other hand, there is bitterness and resentment that the building needs to be restored and preserved as a 100% architectural monument. The emotions are really indescribable! I recommend it to history lovers!!!
