History of the Manor-Park Ensemble in Narovlya
The construction of the manor complex is associated with the Horvath family – influential magnates who owned these lands. At the end of the 18th century, a palace was built, surrounded by a beautiful park. At different times, the estate served not only as a residential residence but also as a cultural center of the region. After the 1917 revolution, the building fell into decay, and during World War II, it suffered significant damage. Despite the losses, part of the complex has been preserved, and its restoration continues today, attracting researchers and tourists eager to book a tour with a visit to Belarusian historical sites.
Architecture and Spiritual Life of the Manor-Park Ensemble in Narovlya
The palace in Narovlya was built in the classical style with elements of Baroque. The facade of the building is decorated with columns and carved cornices, and the interiors, despite the lost elements, still retain traces of former luxury. Of particular value is the ancient park, where rare species of trees and picturesque alleys can be seen. An important part of the ensemble included outbuildings and the Horvath family necropolis. Near the estate is the Church of St. Joseph, which is also of interest from an architectural and spiritual perspective. Many tours around Belarus include a visit to this church as part of the region’s cultural heritage.
