Ancestral P a l a c e s & Manors Priluki, Minsk district, Minsk region 18 The Priluky Manor The Priluky Manor with its refined Gothic features was deservedly considered one of the most attractive in the Minsk region. It became the Chapsky residence in 1872 and remained their property till 1917. The magnificent Neo-Gothic Palace had a number of towers and turrets, fortified teeth and facades in the spirit of Romanticism. The Palace interior looked rather ‘modest’. Documents showed that along with nice parquet and gilt ceiling moulding in the show rooms, there was an oak and leather garniture, grotto work furniture in the style of Louis ХV, two grand pianos, a piano, beautiful wardrobes, Gdansk chests, paintings by Yan Mateyko, family portraits, miniatures of the 18-19th centuries, silver, Saxon and French porcelain… …In our times as well, an eight-metres-wide avenue leads to the Palace from the entrance (“brama”), which is shaped as faceted pylons with spheres above. Its length equals to 365 steps - the number of days in the year.
One of the versions states that the residence was reconstructed from an old monastery. Soon after that rumour spread about a ghost inhabiting the Palace... Now the Palace houses the Belarus Scientific Research Institute of Plants Protection.
