The Gatovsky Manor (Kozel-Poklewski) is not only a fabulous and beautiful palace, but also a place of remembrance for all the victims of the Great Patriotic War.
The manor house itself, once descended from the pages of fantasy books, is well preserved. And thanks to the surviving photographs, most of the interior was recreated during restoration to almost its primary appearance. The preserved staircase, fireplaces, tiles on the floor in the hall, the fascinating decoration of the ceilings and walls - it's all impressive. The rooms are decorated in different styles. There are 12 styles in total. The house has 36 rooms. There are 15 rooms available for viewing, but to be honest, I didn't count them. Most of the furniture and interior items are antiques taken from the private collection of Gomel collector S.Putilina. There is a portrait of the hostess in the house and the dress of those times has been preserved.
Krasny Bereg Estate is a fantastic estate in Belarus. It looks like a castle from childhood dreams. The manor was built in 1893 and since then it has been perfectly preserved. Currently, you can see the manor house, an outbuilding, outbuildings and an English-style park.
The exterior of the manor house is decorated with tower tents, mansard roofs, and gargoyle figures built into the main entrance. And the inner halls are a kind of guide to the history of architectural styles in the interior. It combines more than 10 styles - Gothic and Romanesque, Rococo, Mannerism, Baroque and classicism.
One of the main features of the palace is its well-preserved interiors. There are 36 rooms in the palace, and all of them are decorated in different styles - you can walk around the estate and study the history of architecture.
For example, the main entrance with openwork stucco and colorful stained glass windows is Gothic.
The dining room with painted ceilings is Romanesque.
The building has largely been preserved in its original form. The tiles on the floor, stairs, and wrought iron products are original.
The manor is open every day from 8:00 to 17:00
Admission costs 5 Belarusian rubles (135 Russian rubles or $ 1.59) for adults. Information for March 2025.

An interesting place. I advise you to visit. One of the few attractions of our country is so well preserved. It's just a pity that the English garden and the fence surrounding the estate are in disrepair. There is also a lack of infrastructure nearby. The college is located on the territory of the estate, which also occupies one of the buildings of the estate. It's a pity, of course, but as it is. But I recommend visiting it, it's part of our history.
