On the section of the M6 highway, between Lida and Shchuchin, there is an agricultural town Mozheikovowhere you can see restored estate, which is associated with the genus Romerov. However, it would be much more logical to attribute this estate to the property Kostrovitsky (who most likely laid the estate), or Brokhotsky (last owners). But history is often full of gaps and difficulties, which is probably why in most sources this estate is named after the Romers.
The manor house was built in the second half of the 19th century, in the classical architecture traditional for that time. The building has a rectangular shape with dimensions of about 56 by 22 meters. The front side is decorated with a massive four-column portico, completed by a pediment with a semicircular window.
The estate has one floor and an attic.
The last owner of the estate in Mozheikovo (at that time Small Mozheikovo) was Andrei Brokhotsky. Since 1939, there is no information about his fate, just at that time the estate was nationalized. On the basis of the manor complex, after the end of the war, a state farm was created, and a club was organized within the walls of the manor house.
On the territory of the manor complex, other buildings from the times of the Brokhotsky-Romers have also been preserved. To the left of the house, pay attention to a small building with a triangular roof - this oil mill.
Behind it, a rectangular building with two small porticos is stable. By the way, there is an almost identical building in the neighboring Bolshoy Mozheikovo, where Khodkevichy's estate. Although the projects are similar, their purpose was completely different.
On the outskirts of the park complex there is a two-story building with a tiled roof - a house for workers and servants (officina).
The estate in Mozheikovo is not ideal, but a good example of how historical buildings are preserved and used. Today, the administrative services of the agro-town are located here.
From the M6 highway, drive off near the Lukoil gas station and move in a straight line without turning anywhere, below is the mark with the location on the map:
If you are in these parts, I recommend visiting the unique defensive temple in the village of Murovanka. Also worth visiting Ischelno to the old Trinity Church, near which the sundial of the 18th century has been preserved.
