Description of the attraction

The Dyatlovsky palace and park ensemble was built for the noble princes of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania Radziwills in 1751 on the site of a wooden fortress castle of the 16th century, in which during the Northern War there was a camp of Russian troops led by Tsar Peter I. The fortress could not be held by the Russian army. it was taken by storm by the Swedes, then plundered and burned.

The castle for the Radziwills was built on the ashes of the famous fortress. Subsequently, the luxurious residence was surrounded by gardens and parks, farm buildings were built, which contained the princely goods, and servants lived.

After the Radziwills, the castle belonged to marshal Stanislav Soltan, who did not stay on the sidelines of the Polish national liberation uprising in 1830. All the property of the rioters passed to the Russian treasury. In particular, the Soltan residence in Dyatlovo was transferred to the treasury.

During the years of the Nazi occupation, a Jewish ghetto was organized in the Dyatlovsky castle.

After the war, the building of the castle was restored and transferred to doctors. For more than 70 years there was a dental clinic here. Few of the modern generation of Dyatlovites know that this small building, whitewashed with ordinary whitewash, was once an elegant palace of powerful Polish princes.

Quite recently, the building of the palace was recognized as a historical and cultural value. Now restoration work is underway in the palace, after which it is planned to open a local history museum in the palace, which will move to the residence of the Radziwills and Soltanov from the premises of the museum, in which it has already become impossible to store and demonstrate all the exhibits.
