Reconstruction began in the former Radziwill Palace in Dyatlovo. And immediately someone broke in

Traces of a break-in were left on two doors. On the central doors, which lead to the courtyard of the neighboring hospital, the lock hinges were bent and the doors were scratched. The back door, leading to the pond, was kicked in about halfway by the perpetrators. A hole was formed of such a size that an adult person could easily squeeze through it.

The owner believes that the unknown individuals first tried to open the central door but failed, after which they moved to the back entrance.

The exact time of the break-in has not yet been established. According to Tatiana, it most likely happened on the weekend. On weekdays, a checkpoint for entry into the hospital grounds, where guards are located, operates near the palace. On weekends, there is no one there, and the barrier remains open. She also does not rule out that the perpetrators could have acted at night.

To clarify the circumstances, the owner called the police. Law enforcement officers suggested that teenagers might have broken into the building. This was indicated, in particular, by several empty bottles of carbonated drinks found inside.

However, some items did disappear from the palace — a hammer and pliers. Tatiana noted that these are inexpensive tools, but she is concerned about what might have happened if more expensive equipment, tools, and building materials had already been brought to the site by then. In such a case, they might also have disappeared after the break-in.

Shortly before this, several fragments of a beautiful bas-relief were found in the palace, but they remained in place. In addition, during the dismantling of one of the walls, a worker discovered about four kilograms of dental and pure mercury, stored in hermetically sealed containers. The mercury was later taken away by MES employees.

Tatiana does not rule out that the perpetrators might have been specifically looking for mercury. She also doubts that the penetration into the palace was just a teenage prank.

"I don't think teenagers did this out of curiosity. I don't think modern youth are so foolish as to so brazenly break into private property. Most likely, someone broke into the palace for profit," the owner said.

Tatiana plans to file a police report and seek to have the culprits found. She believes that this incident cannot be left without consequences, otherwise no one guarantees that someone will not try to break into the building again and cause even more damage.

The palace itself was purchased by Russian Tatiana at an auction for a symbolic sum — 90 Belarusian rubles, which corresponded to two basic values. The building belonged to the descendants of the famous Radziwill family.

According to the owner, acquiring this palace had been her childhood dream. Now she is engaged in its restoration. In the future, in addition to exhibition halls for visitors, a cafe and an apart-hotel are planned to be created in the building.

The well-preserved basements are also planned for use. They may house wine cellars, tasting rooms, or a kitchen where visitors will be shown how food was prepared in ancient times during excursions.
