About Park
For many years, we’ve been carefully and lovingly reviving this exceptionally beautiful and notable place from ruins and oblivion, and now we have the honor to unveil before you Park-Museum of Interactive History Sula, a mansion and park ensemble and an elite center of cultural and social life. The idea of the revival of the mansion was based on the deep respect for our ancestors and diverse millenary history and culture of our people.
We will be pleased to open to you a new world, where boundaries between the material and the spiritual are non-existent, and the lost connection with our past is restored. Everything here makes you immerse into the sophisticated and enchanting world of the Belarusian mansion of the 18th century. So, are you ready to take an exciting journey full of adventures?
The mansion is only 49 km of picturesque views away from the capital. Passing the entrance, you will see a magnificent building of Royal Assembly of cut quarry stone, crowned with a tower with the town clock chiming exactly every hour with a melodic modulation and striking heard far across the area. Behind the glass doors of the Assembly, you will see the hall of knight’s glory with a collection of tapestry and pictures, lit with medieval chandeliers and hand-made torches. You will definitely notice a true king-size fireplace that makes the beautiful ceremonial hall, accommodating up to 200 guests, cozy and charming.
Further, as you take a walk on the stone paths along the quiet dormant pond decorated with forged benches, you can visit the horse stable with a riding hall and meet its beautiful tenants. The most courageous ones can go riding on a horse back or in a phaeton.
You will feel that the amazing aura of the past centuries still lives in every corner of the park. Imagine yourself walking in a three-hundred year-old park, where exotic plants once brought from far-away countries are still growing. Wandering around the shady park, you will see an enigmatic stone outhouse and the sacral symbols left by freemasons on its facade. As you keep walking, you will be amazed by an isolated chapel hidden from a human eye, built as an ancient rotunda temple, on the top of the man-made pyramid-like 30-meter hill. When you learn the enigmatic and tragic history of this chapel, you will definitely want to visit our museum, meet its hearty host and try to solve the mystery of Lenskie pyramid yourself.
Sula River, flowing slowly through the park, falling into the deep, picturesque and clear lake, a sandy beach and chaise longues, as well as wonderful fishing, will suggest you to relax and calm down. Quiet classical music spreading over the park will turn your thoughts back to the history of the mansion and its mysteries, left by the previous owners, as if on purpose.
Pan Starki, an ethnic cuisine restaurant, will cordially open its doors and surprise you with its interior. Designer forged furniture, murals depicting knightly tournaments, chandeliers and hand-made torches create a medieval atmosphere in the restaurant. The peculiarity of the restaurant is that the produce for its dishes is grown right here, at our farm. This means that fresh organic dairy products, vegetables and eggs will always be on your table. Our talented chef will treat you to delicious dishes from cuisines of the peoples once inhabiting the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, recreated according to ancient recipes found in the archives of Minsk and Vilnius.
You will definitely want to stay here for a night, because the territory of the mansion and park ensemble opens up fantastic opportunities to make your dream of having a wonderful time off come true. We managed to preserve the ancient interiors and add luxury and comfort of a Boutique Hotel, as well as style and home coziness. Luxury elite furniture of solid oak and Karelian birch, made by Belarusian designers, unique finishing of each suite, dedicated to significant historical figures, portraits of kings and dukes of Belarusian nobles recreate the charm of the Grand Duchy times. Next to the boutique hotel, there is a wooden ‘Steward’s House’ with eight stylish suites, and you will find a wood sauna not far from a small pond, where you can have SPA-treatments.
Our gorgeous park, together with Mir Castle Complex and Nesvizh Castle, form a peculiar golden touristic triangle of Belarus. We will be happy to organize exciting trips on a comfortable minibus or sightseeing air tours on Cessna plane or Robinson helicopter from a touristic airfield situated in Park-Museum of Interactive History Sula.
Even if you’ve been to this beautiful and enigmatic place and felt its magical energy only once, you will never forget it, and some mysterious force will tempt you to come back here again and again ...
