According to the citizens, this place in the capital is the most peaceful and romantic.
History of creation
There are good reasons to believe that in the 10-13 centuries. On the territory of Lositsky Park there was a huge fort. Over time, it was fragmented into a number of settlements. These included Loshitsa Malaya and Loshitsa Bolshaya, Loshitsa Gornostaevskaya and others.
The manor is mentioned in documents that date from the middle of the 16th century. At that time the land was in the possession of V.Yu. Tolochinsky, who was the representative of the princely family of Drutsky. Then the property was transferred to the sons I. Gornostaya. He was the husband of the widow of Tolochinsky, Maria.
At the turn of the 17-18 centuries. The estate was bought out by the noble family of Prushinsky. Their guests were famous people. Thus, the poetry, in which the Loshitsa land and its owner are mentioned, left the descendants of V. Dunin-Martsinkevich.
The plan of the estate
The archives contained documents dating from 1772 and 1787. These are the plans of the buildings that are part of the Loshitsa park. The map prompted the researchers that the estate itself was previously located at the place where the wing was later erected.
Presumably, during its construction, the foundation was used for a minor building located in the old manor complex.
Secret
Loshitsky park in Minsk is famous for its ghost, which walks along the alleys. This legend is connected with Jadwiga Lubanska - the wife of one of the owners of the manor, Eustace Lubansky. They say that the young wife was turned over by a handsome but poor young man. On the infidelity of Yadviga on Minsk immediately rumors spread. The girl could not stand the shame and, descending the path to the river, drowned.
Eustace Lubansky was shocked by the death of his wife. On the spot where her body was later found, he planted apricots. They say that the ghost of Pani Jadwiga wanders at midnight along the alleys of the Loshitsky park. It happens in the time of flowering apricot. A ghost in white robes does not do anything wrong. Yadviga is happy to help with practical advice for those who fall in love with her.
The Soviet period
After the 1917 revolution, the Lositsky park in Minsk began to exist under new rules. Local old-timers say that in the 1920s the GPU of Belarus was located in the estate. Black yar, located in the park, during the Stalinist repression was fenced with barbed wire. Shots and people's groans were often heard here.
After the occupation of Belarus by the Nazis, the Loshitsky estate was occupied by representatives of the German command. Often, Wilhelm von Kube himself visited.
After the end of the war, the Lositsky park in Minsk was given to the state farm with the same name - "Loshitsa". This was the period of desolation of the estate. Several state farms even settled in the dilapidated wing and in the guard house. They liberated these buildings only in 1988. It was precisely this year that the Loshitsky Park in Minsk was declared a monument of architecture and history. However, the high status did not affect the life of the estate in any way. The state farm continued to plow its land until 1998.
Modern period
Loshitskaya manor partially preserved until our days. That building, which we can see today, dates back to 1895. It is a style of Russian modernity and eclecticism. The house fits perfectly into the surrounding landscape. It is located on a high bank, above the junction of two rivers. When planning the park, all the features of the existing terrain relief were perfectly taken into account. The effect of the visual increase is also applied here. It allows a relatively small park to impress the vast territory.
Currently, the restoration of the park in Lositsky Park. Back in 2003, the specialists of BelNIIS were involved in the process. They issued a verdict on the unsatisfactory condition of the wooden part of the house and its floors.
The former mill is in a sorry state. It stands at a distance, it will be restored only after the restoration of the manor house and the buildings located not far from the center of the architectural complex. Despite the neglect, Loshitsky Park still looks majestic today. The main house and the house of the manager, two buildings of an economic type, an old distillery, a water mill, a tomb-chapel - all these buildings can still be seen in the park.
A horse club works in Loshitsa Estate. Those who wish can ride in the park on a horse.
