Murovana is a small village located near Malaya Berestovitsa. Until recently, the Lyceum of the processing industry functioned here, which was located on the territory of the former Soltanov estate. The history of this estate began in the middle of the 16th century. In 1569, the property belonged to Ostafiy Volovich. They passed from him to his son-in-law Severin Boner, who sold them to Jozef Karp. They remained in the hands of the Karpov family until 1750, after which they were sold to Tadeusz Yundzill and remained in the hands of his family until 1858, when Tadeusz's great-granddaughter, Maria Yundzill, married Stanislav Soltan. His grandson George Soltan was the last owner of Murovana until 1939. The original version of the building had side wings and the shape of the letter "P". In the middle of the 19th century, when Murovana passed to Soltanam, the side wings of the house were demolished and an attic was built. A long oak alley with a huge gate at the entrance led to the estate. To the left of the estate was an "L"—shaped frill, which has survived to this day, as well as a piece of an officer's house, a stable and a mill. The Soltanov Estate was a small two-story classical-style palace, measuring about 30 by 14 meters. There were also interesting decorative elements on the facade. For example, images of the family coats of arms of the owners have been partially preserved on the pediment: swan – Yundzillov, Trzhivdar – Buzhinsky, Vrenby – Soltan. Just below is an unusual frieze with stucco bas-reliefs on an antique theme: a Roman helmet, a Zeus lightning bolt, a bow with arrows, a wreath. The entrance to the manor was decorated with an arcade with a large balcony and a stone balustrade, as it looked like in an old photograph from 1939. When the estate was nationalized, classrooms for future tractor drivers were located within its walls. The condition of the building was not monitored at all, and at some point it was completely abandoned. Since Murovana itself is a rather small and remote village. In 2009, the village had only 377 inhabitants.
