Alba is a small village in the vicinity Nesvizh, which since the end of the 16th century has been actively developed through the efforts Nicholas Radziwill "Orphans". At one time there was a palace here (repeatedly rebuilt after destruction), and in truth the royal menagerie, and of course various enterprises. Among which distillery of the Radziwills “Alba”, these buildings have survived to this day. The buildings date back to the beginning of the 20th century, and neo-Gothic motifs are clearly visible in the architecture.
Probably, if it were not for the wars that have destroyed these lands throughout our history, then Alba would have looked completely different. And if after the “Northern War” of the beginning of the 18th century, the summer residence of the Radziwills was not only restored, but also improved, then after the war of 1812, the withering of Alba began.
By the end of the 19th century Alba Radziwills recovered a little. There will no longer be bright alleys and palaces, but a small enterprise and a manor have been built.
Some of the buildings of the former distillery are used for local production, but the beautiful production building is clearly abandoned.
To the left of the main building, an alcohol storage facility has been preserved, and to the right, a wooden utility building. By the way, there is an advertisement for sale on the Internet.
In the village of Alba you can see part of the former estates of the Radziwills.
The building is one-story, half is used for housing, the other half - for a shop. About what it is attraction of Belarus, you can guess only by the sign "historical heritage".
