All buildings of a 19th-century estate in Volozhin district will be demolished — and 14 thousand will be spent on the demolition
In the village of Chekhaushchyna, preparations are underway to demolish most of the noble estate. At the same time, the manor house itself has been put up for electronic auction with very specific conditions for the future owner.
As the "Spadchyna" (Heritage) Telegram channel reports, local authorities have allocated budget funds for the demolition of eight buildings of the historical complex. According to official materials on the public procurement website, 14 thousand rubles from the district budget will be spent on this.
The decision was made by the Volozhin District Executive Committee back in late May. The list of buildings to be liquidated includes all outbuildings of the former estate: a warehouse-icehouse, a vegetable warehouse, a food warehouse, a horse stable, a feed kitchen, a fuel depot, and two residential houses.
The formation of the noble complex in Chekhaushchyna took place in the mid-19th century. The most valuable object among those subject to demolition is the icehouse.
According to monographic studies by architectural historian Anatol Fedaruk, this is an authentic square-plan building measuring 8x8 meters, constructed from rubble stone using black crushed stone in lime mortar — the so-called "raisin masonry" technique. Above the entrance to the icehouse, an original lintel with the carved construction date — "Roku 1855" — has been preserved.
In parallel with the preparation for the demolition of the outbuildings, the Volozhin District Executive Committee put up for auction the wooden manor house itself with a total area of 433.7 sq. m. Officially, the building is listed as "outbuilding constructed in 1957," so a potential investor would have no way of knowing that it is actually a noble estate built in 1849. Such errors arose because during post-war Soviet inventory, old buildings were assigned the date of their first major renovation or accounting.
Local authorities do not impose requirements on potential buyers regarding the mandatory preservation of the object. According to the auction terms, the new owner of the manor house can reconstruct the building or completely demolish it and erect a new object in its place within five years.
