The estate in the village of Porozovo was built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by Tadeusz Buttovt-Andrzejkovic, one of the richest landowners in the Grodno region and once the former governor of Grodno. Today, Bogudenki, whose name comes from the Polish words Bogu dzieki, which translates as Thank God, is called a masterpiece of Belarusian wooden architecture. The wooden manor-type residential building on a rubble foundation, with two towers under hipped roofs, was conceived as an imitation of the defense structures of the Middle Ages. Small towers-alcoves — borrow from castle architecture, where they were used for rifle defense. Without performing defensive functions, they were additional rooms of the house and created the illusion of inaccessibility and antiquity of the building. The facades feature forms from the arsenal of Baroque and Classicism architecture. The Porozovsky house is decorated with many carved details. The facades, unlike the plan, retained their original appearance, and the park landscape retained its old flavor. The extraordinary composition of the house, the bay window design of the park facade, and the artistic elaboration of various architectural details that are revealed upon closer inspection of the facades deserve attention. There are also columns of the central portico, balustrades, balconies, pilasters, mouldings around the perimeter of the cornice, carved window frames with coats of arms, and even traces of partially preserved vases on the tents.

It is a very atmospheric place, traces of its former beauty are still visible, but, unfortunately, the tree collapses quickly enough ... If the estate is not restored, then it will not last long...
