The Gerardov estate is located in the Dobrushsky district, in the village of Demyanki. after the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, this territory is located in the resettlement zone and access to it is closed, restoration is not planned, the building is slowly collapsing.
The future Finnish governor-General received these lands in 1876. In 1884, a manor was built here, a two-level park with interesting trees and plants was laid out: black pine, spiky irga, horse chestnut and other exotic plants, some of them have been preserved to this day.
The estate was built by architects from St. Petersburg, it is a large-scale two-storey red brick house in the Art Nouveau style with elements of pseudo-Russian style standing above the floodplain of the Iput River
Nikolai Nikolaevich Gerard was a justice of the peace of St. Petersburg, and from 1905 to 1908, Governor–General of Finland.
After the revolution, the estate was taken away from the landowner, Gerard himself went to Finland. An orphanage was built in his house in Demyanki. During the war, a police detachment was stationed here. After that, the two-story building became a special school for orphans, and before the Chernobyl accident, a health camp was located here.

It's a great place, I'd like to visit it again, but you can conveniently get there from Russia only through Gomel and Dobrush. It is not worth going through the Old Vyshkov, because you need to go through the swamp.

Time has not spared the building, it is better to take a dosimeter with you, because there were a couple of very dirty places, I am more than sure that the restoration of the building will not be carried out, and it will not stand for too long, surprisingly the vandals did not get to this beautiful place)

We never got to it. We arrived in the evening, there is no connection, we did not find the entrance (even the cards do not load) . And they didn't break through the bushes. And if we compare with 2010-15, everything is very overgrown.

It's a great place! We went to Radunitsa in the settled areas! We found this manor by chance. Mysticism is breathtaking.

The Gerard Estate is located in the Settlement Area. Accordingly, this imposes special visiting conditions on her. In summer, the area around the estate is mowed down, which means they are still looking after it. It is definitely not expected to be restored for obvious reasons - so far the pollution level does not allow. But the manor is really beautiful!

The estate has been preserved for better preservation.There are a couple of places disassembled from bricks where you can crawl through and get inside the building.The park is overgrown, but it is clear that there was once a park of unusual scope and beauty.The bridge is dilapidated, but has retained its beauty. It is very quiet and peaceful around.

We were going to see the estate. We got disappointed. The building has been renovated. The repair is slowly slipping away.) The park is overgrown and not well maintained, the paths are gouged. There's shit on the benches, local drunks and blue aunts.) In general, we came in vain...
