An old manor with towers near Navahrudak was bought for 94.5 rubles. What they plan to open there
The old manor "Muravanka Khraptovicha" in the village of Shchorsy near Navahrudak was sold at auction for only 94.5 rubles. A buyer for this complex was sought since last summer, and the initial price during this time decreased from almost 300 thousand rubles to two basic values. The new owner of the property is a Minsk businessman who is involved in road construction. Instead of the abandoned farm buildings, he plans to open a hotel and a cafe for tourists here, writes Domovita.by.
A Year of Discounts and 1500 Square Meters with Towers
Attempts to find a good owner for "Muravanka Khraptovicha" had been ongoing since June last year. At that time, almost 298 thousand rubles were asked for the ancient buildings, but there was no queue of investors for this lot, so the price had to be reduced several times in a row. As a result, the bidding concluded successfully only on the sixth attempt, when the price dropped to a minimum. The sole participant in the auction added the mandatory five percent to the initial price and acquired the manor for 94.5 rubles — just two basic values.
Despite its external resemblance to a medieval castle, the complex in Shchorsy was always exclusively a farmyard. For a symbolic sum, the buyer received two brick buildings with a total area of over 1500 square meters. At various times, these walls housed granaries, a cowshed, calf sheds, and even a local veterinary hospital. In addition to the main buildings, unusual round towers and parts of an ancient fence have been preserved here, and the land plot itself, covering 6.4 hectares, has been leased to the investor for 50 years.
A Hotel Instead of Granaries and Strict Control
Buying for two basic values sounds like a gift, but in reality, the new owner's main expenses are just beginning. The entire territory has the status of a historical and cultural heritage site. This means that demolishing everything here or rebuilding the complex in a Neo-Gothic style to one's taste will not be possible. Any restoration and repair work will have to be coordinated with the Ministry of Culture.
The investor himself works in the field of road construction, but acquired the property in Shchorsy for a tourism project. In the former manor, he plans to arrange a hotel and open a public catering establishment. The first concrete decisions regarding the future reconstruction will be made this week. As Marina Nester, Deputy Head of the Department of Economy, Trade, and Services of the Navahrudak District Executive Committee, explained, the investor will meet with relevant services at the District Executive Committee to approve the concept and detailed work plan.
