Bol'shie Krugovichi

Bolshie Krugovichi lies in the wooded country south of Kletsk. Recorded from the sixteenth century, the village was a noble property of the Obukhovich family, whose estates extended across the lands of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Its history belonged to the world of privately held villages and manors within the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Second Partition in 1793 brought Krugovichi under Russian rule, placing the village in the Slutsk district of the Minsk lands. The Obukhovich estate remained a landmark of local ownership long after this change of rulers.
