After the 1863 uprising, the manor house was confiscated and became the property of Lev Makov, Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Empire. Under his rule, the red brick manor house was built in 1876. The estate underwent several major renovations. The park, which was laid out nearby, underwent significant changes; only part of it remains. From 1935 to 1941, the building housed the House of Belarusian Writers, where classics of Belarusian literature such as Yanka Kupala, Yakub Kolas, Zmitrok Byadulya, and Kuzma Chorny once relaxed and wrote. The manor house now houses a medical facility .
