Photo of the Day for August 24, 2022

Photo survey of the heritage of Mahiljou and Homjel’ Regions 2017.

Фотавандроўка па спадчыне Магілёўскай і Гомельскай абласьцей 2017 г.

 

Late-19th/early-20th century (?) house, Paharelaje (Hlusk District).

This substantial house (a former manor house?) appears to pre-date the 1919 Soviet occupation of the eastern Belarusian lands.  Given the destruction of Belarusian patrimony in Mahiljou Region under the first Soviet occupation (1919-1941), German occupation (1941-1944), second Soviet occupation (1944-1991) and current regime (1994-present) it is rare to find surviving examples of village houses of this type, all the more so with a traditional shingle roof.

 

Маянтковы дом (?) позняга 19-га/раньняга 20-га стст. (?), Пагарэлае (Глускі раён).
