Memorial museum-estate named after Th. Kosciuszko

In January 2003, by decision of the regional executive committee, a decision was made "Abandoned syadzibnaga of the house of T. Kastsyushki and the establishment of the memorial museum". The grand opening of the house-museum took place on September 23, 2004.

The estate was originally built in 1720. During the Great Patriotic War, it burned down (1944). After 60 years, it was restored on the foundation that was cleared during archaeological excavations in 2003.

On February 4, 1746, Andrei Tadeusz Bonaventura Kostyushko was born in the Merechevshchyna farm, the great son of the Belarusian land, the national hero of Poland, the USA, and an honorary citizen of France.
