Village Great Court is located in the Stolbtsovsky district, Minsk region. A good location could provide this place with a certain influx of tourists (next to the M1 highway and the popular Inconclusive). In addition, a rather interesting homestead, which belonged to the genus Brokhotsky.
Before Brokhotsky, when this place was still called Gorodiy they owned Radziwills (approximately from the beginning of the 16th to the end of the 18th century). Then the land was sold Mitarnovsky, who, in turn, resold them to Brokhotsky (approximately 1818). At this time, the construction of a stone manor house begins.
The architecture of the estate is pure classicism. Similar estates can be found throughout the country. In addition to the manor house, various outbuildings were erected, some of which have survived to this day, but in the form of ruins.
In 1890, the estate passed from the Brokhotskys to Svyatopolk-Mirsky, by the then owners castle in the world. With the outbreak of the First World War, the house housed a military hospital. During the hostilities, some outbuildings were destroyed, and the estate itself suffered.
After the end of the war, the Great Court became part of Interwar Poland. The estate was returned to the Svyatopolk-Mirskys, but they had neither the desire nor the opportunity to restore the estate. As a result, the house stood abandoned and was confiscated in 1930. By 1934, the building was restored and a school was opened in it.
To the right of the estate you can see barn ruins. A little far away - former manager's house.
All outbuildings are in a severe state of disrepair and will probably never be restored.
In old photographs you can see chapel-tomb in the neo-Gothic style, which was supposedly built by the Brokhotskys in the second half of the 19th century. Architecturally, the building is very similar to Temple in Sarya.
I assume that the chapel was destroyed before 1915, but under what circumstances it is difficult to say.
Another interesting building as part of the former estate, but which has come down to us only in the photo, is a wooden dovecote.
In Soviet times, the former estate of the Brokhotskys was expanded by completing the side wings. Today, the building of historical heritage continues to be used as a school institution.
In my opinion, this is not the worst application, much better than another abandoned object (as an example, another Brokhotsky estate in Verskovo).
The attraction is easy to find, from the center go straight along Demidovich street to a small reservoir.
What else is interesting in this region? Look down the road to see burial vault of the Moravians in Zaušie, as well as brama in Great Lipa.
