The Khaletskys built their residence at the turn of the XVIII-XIX centuries. The mini-palace was built in the style of late classicism. However, there was not enough money for the construction, so the first floor was made of stone, the second was wooden and plastered so that it could not be distinguished from the outside (it was rebuilt much later). By the way, a mansion of this type is a rarity in Belarus. The facade facing the river became especially elegant, the upper terrace on 8 columns seemed to extend the ballroom, and from the lower two side stairs led to a beautiful park. However, the interior of the residence was not so luxurious – with small guest rooms and bedrooms, a modest-sized ballroom.
From the middle of the 19th century until the events of 1917, the estate was inherited by representatives of the Voynich-Senozhetsky family, who finalized the manor house. At that time, it was full of antique mahogany furniture, collections of books, porcelain, silver, carpets, and paintings by famous artists. There was even a special secret room where Masonic meetings were held, since the owners were members of the lodge.
After 1917, the nationalized estate housed a colony for street children, an NKVD prison, a club, and a collective farm office. During the Great Patriotic War, bloody battles took place in Khalcha, so many buildings of the estate were lost. But parts of the complex have survived to this day: a two-story manor house, a manager's house, an orchard, and a park along the river.

We stopped by for a while, the gates were open, there was a watchman with a friend, a dog playing with a stick, and a memorial to the fallen of the Second World War. I would like to see the estate restored. But it's good that she's under supervision.

The manor is collapsing, the remains of the former luxurious architecture are visible. Reconstruction seems to have begun, if the building is restored, then the house and the view from it will be magnificent. I really hope so.
