In the southern part of the Kletsk district, at a short distance from each other, several small manor complexes of different state of preservation have been preserved. One of these estates was located in the village Yanovichiwhere you can see today Brzozowski's estate. The building is partially inhabited, but at the same time half abandoned. Looks like it was recently refurbished, but never finished.

Manor Yanovichi in Belarus

The manor in Yanovichi in many sources bears the surname Brzozovsky, but probably laid down at Voinikhovsky. It is interesting that the representatives of the Brzozovskys owned the estate for a short time and already in 1876 year the complex went to the genus Pilyavsky. It is extremely easy to get confused in all these transitions. Moreover, the Pilyavskys were not the last owners. With 1910 years, the Yanovichi estate was bought Edward Yelensky (he had a large estate in Tucha). It is with the Elenskys that the rise and fall of the Yanovichi will be associated.

After 1948 years, within the walls of the already former estate, living rooms for workers of the local collective farm were placed. Inside the house has undergone significant redevelopment, it was conditionally divided into 6 parts for 6 families. However, the external decor and the general architectural style of the late baroque, turning into classicism, have been preserved. The house is one-story, rectangular, symmetrical shape. The main façade stands out for its peculiar six-column loggia, such solutions are rare in the estates of Belarus.

On the territory of the estate complex there was also a chapel-tombprobably built in the late 18th century. It was demolished in the post-war period, now it is even difficult to find the place where it was.
