Lipnishki since 1849 belonged to representatives of a noble family Volskywho built a family estate in these parts. For three whole generations of this kind, Lipnishki were enthusiastically developed. It is quite appropriate to say that under them the place reached its peak. For example, under Nikolai Volsky, unique neo-gothic shopping malls in the center (not preserved). With the money and support of Alexander Volsky, the construction of the main attraction of Lipnishki began - Church of St. Casimir. According to rumors, he brought the project of this unusual temple from Paris. But what about the estate itself? To the present day Volsky estate did not reach, only stone survived official.
The building is abandoned, but partially mothballed. It is distinguished by an interesting three-level tower, the upper tier of which is decorated with arched windows.
On the back side of the building, a furnace chimney and a small extension with neo-Gothic decorative elements have been preserved (in the lower photo on the left side).
Next to the former office of the Volskys, there is a local kindergarten.
In an old photograph of the late 19th century, you can see the manor house: one-story, but with a residential attic and a massive balcony. There were lanterns and alleys on the territory of the park.
The last owner of the Lipnishki estate was Jadwiga Volskaya (Gowalt). After the advent of Soviet power, the estate was nationalized, and outbuildings were eventually rebuilt or demolished.
