The former estate of Stanislavova Photo: Former estate of Stanislavova

The former estate of Stanislavova – country residence of the last king of Rzeczpospolita Stanislaw August Poniatowski. This majestic Palace was built in the years 1760-1770 in Baroque style by the Italian architect Giuseppe Sacco – popular court architect of king Poniatowski.

On a semicircular Bay window of the main rectangular part of the manor flaunts a personal monogram of king Stanislaw August three letters S. A. R. — short for Stanislaus Augustus Rex (Stanislaus Augustus, king). Extant of two wings, built on both sides of the Central building: the right and left.

Partially preserved also a regular Park with radial layout. In the second half of the nineteenth century the Park was redesigned in the landscape. It was paved winding paths instead of straight alleys.

After joining the Commonwealth to the Russian Empire, Catherine II gave Stanislavova General Ruban, who resold it to the Prince the Franciszek Ksawery Drucki-Lyubetsky.

In 1953, the old residence of the last Polish king was transferred to the Grodno agricultural Institute. This explains the fact that in the ancient alleys impressively sits in his chair with a dreamy expression stone Timiryazev.

In 1982-1983, this once-rural district of Hrodna was at the center of modern buildings. In these years the city authorities cared little monuments. Thank you for supporting the building of regular cosmetic repairs.

Now in the Palace, large-scale repair and restoration work. The authorities promise to restore the residence of the last Polish king, and outbuildings, and garden and Park complex.
