History
In the 17th century , the village had a fortified castle with a palace and outbuildings (belonged to the Brzostowski family).
Then, together with the lands, it was bought by the Domeyko clan, the famous representative of which was Ignatius Dameyko . Domeyko owned a greenhouse, garden and tile factory (family tiles on the walls of individual rural buildings).
In 1939, the village became part of the BSSR . The descendants of Domeiko were dispossessed and went abroad.
Thanks to the state program, the village became an agro-town , and the local collective farm acquired the status of a private enterprise. The park and the estate are listed on the historical balance [1] [2] .

The ground in the basement is torn, the walls are covered with soot from torches and candles (thanks to treasure seekers).
