Marjina Horka

Marjina Horka lies south-east of Minsk in the country around Pukhavichy. Its history reaches back to a settlement mentioned in 1222. Over the following centuries the locality belonged to a succession of noble families, including the Burzyński, Ratyński and Krupski. Their estate formed part of the network of private landed holdings that marked the countryside of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and, later, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
