a small village Polonechka located tens of kilometers from the M1 highway, at the intersection of two roads - H277 and H295, leading to Ishkold (by the way, there is one of oldest churches Belarus). Just at the exit is an abandoned mill.

The water mill was erected at the beginning of the 19th century. At the base of the foundation, a stone with the numbers “1819” has been preserved - the date when construction began.

Only 2 walls remained from the mill itself. Some of the window openings still have bars.

In the village itself is Church of St. George и Palace of the Radziwills.
