Bulgak Palace in Zhilichi

Construction began in 1823. The project of the palace was commissioned by the leader of the nobility of the Bobruisk district, Ignatius Bulgak, by a native of the village of Zhirmuny, Shchuchinsky district, Karol Podchashinsky, the son of the court architect of the Radziwills, Jan Podchashinsky, and the father of the famous Warsaw architect Boleslav Podchashinsky.
The palace was built in the style of classicism, it was ruled by elegant rigor and symmetry. Placing the front rooms on the second tier, in the tradition of Russian classicism, allowed the architect to "play" with the height of the ceilings, it can fluctuate in different halls from four to nine meters. The space of the main building ended with a two-tier belvedere - an observation tower with a clock. The palace is covered with a low four-pitched roof, two-pitched porticos, while the belvedere had a slightly flattened dome with four vases and a spire in the middle. On the spire there was a weather vane with the coat of arms of the owners. More information on the website: museyjilichi.by
