Rudobelka

Rudobelka was an estate in the wooded country north of the Pripyat. In 1507 Grand Duke Sigismund the Old granted its revenues for ten years to Mikołaj Radziwiłł to support his duties as voivode of Trakai; in 1526 he gave him the estate itself. Later ownership reflected the fortunes of the great families of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In 1661 Rudobelka was granted to Prince Aleksander Hilary Połubiński in compensation for expenses incurred during his service in Livonia. The village remained part of the Commonwealth's rural estate landscape.
