metamorphoses

On the former outskirts of Minsk in a large old park there is a museum “Loshitskaya manor" - a unique architectural monument of the XVIII - XIX centuries. The first written mention of the Loshitsa estate dates back to 1557. There are museum expositions, art exhibitions, guided tours. On weekends, the estate hosts creative meetings with musicians, poets; musical evenings, concerts, etc. Loshitsa is also rich in legends related to the origin of the name and its former owners. The most famous legend is about the "White Lady” who tragically drowned in the river, and later began to appear in the park as a ghost.
