In the village Stralkovo, Kletsk district (*in some sources Strelkovo) remained small manor house and several outbuildings from the early 20th century. This farm belonged to the landowner Stralko (Strzhalka) Dominik Vikentievich.
The house, built in 1909, as evidenced by the commemorative figures on the facade, is made in classical architecture. The building itself is stone and one-story, rather modest in size - about 25 at 14 meters.
Of the architectural elements, attention is drawn to the massive four-column portico with a triangular front.
On the reverse side of the house (*it is also called the park) - a semicircular wall stands out, where there used to be a terrace and a dining room, as well as an exit to the park.
The estate Stralkovo also has side entrances from the ends. Perhaps this is already a remake of the Soviet era.
On the way to the estate there is a ruined wooden house - this is one of the first buildings of the manor. Some sources indicate that before the completion of the stone building, the Stralko family lived in it.
The barn is slightly better preserved.
Representatives of the Stralko family managed to escape to Poland before the advent of Soviet power in 1939. The estate was nationalized, in the manor house they arranged a kind of hostel (or communal apartment) for several families.
It is difficult to say how abandoned or inhabited the house is today. All doors are open, inside there are mountains of various utensils and clothes, in the backyard there is an apiary. However, obviously someone periodically comes here to look after the bees and the plot.
What future awaits this place is easy to predict. Identical estates were in the nearby villages: Yanovichi, Krasnaya Zvezda, Tucha, Tesnovka – unfortunately they are all abandoned and falling apart.
Finding the former estate "Schalkovo" will not be difficult. If you go from Dumpling, then you need to move along the highway H8507 and turn to the sign - Stralkovo village, below is a point on the map:
Another interesting attraction in the area is neogothic church in Nagorny.
