Manor Rdultovsky в Upper Chernikhovo was formed from the middle of the 19th century and included: a manor house, a park, several outbuildings and a family tomb. One of the interesting buildings of the former estate, which has survived to this day, is a brick smokehouse. This small building is a hexagonal tower in two tiers.
The height of the tower is about 6 meters, and the sides are about two in size. The tiers of the smokehouse are separated by a protruding curb.
The lower tier is four meters high, it stands out with small windows, the upper one is two meters high, decorated with round niches (perhaps these are also windows that were simply blocked). The tower ended with a hipped roof.
From the smokehouse, one path leads to the place where the estate was located, and the other to tomb of the Rdultovskys.
Very little is known about the estate itself in Verkhniy Chernikhovo. The house was one-story, on a high plinth, located far from the village.
The last owner of the estate was Konstantin Petr Rdultovsky. After the estate was nationalized, he was arrested and in 1939 exiled to Karaganda.
From the manor house, only the foundation with the basement has been preserved. (According to another version and plan from Fedoruk's textbook, the house stood in the forest, next to the smokehouse, and nothing was left of it).
It is interesting that the basement seems to be trying to hide(?). A film was spread over the masonry and everything was covered with earth.
In the neighborhood are the brick ruins of outbuildings.
Upper Chernikhovo is located at the exit from the P2 highway leading to Baranovichi. The smoking tower stands to the right of the residential buildings at the very end of the village.
The Rdultovskys also had a real palace in Snova. Not far from Chernikhovo you can see ruins of the chapel-tomb of the Slug family.
