The manor house was built in 1770 for Marceli Niemcewicz, the father of Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz.
Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz, who wrote the first Polish constitution drama, spent his childhood at this estate.
The estate was the site where an armistice between the German and Russian armies was signed in December 1917 during World War I.
The park contains centuries-old trees that represent the original landscape architecture of the 18th-century garden design.
The estate underwent significant restoration in the early 21st century to reverse the decay sustained during the Soviet era.
Park Manor Niamcevič is an 18th-century noble estate located in the village of Skoki, featuring a restored manor house and a surrounding historic park. The site belonged to the Niemcewicz family, most notably the writer and public figure Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz. The manor house serves as a history and memorial museum documenting the regional cultural heritage and the life of the family. The estate complex includes reconstructed outbuildings and a landscape garden designed in the traditional style of the era. It is recognized as a historic and cultural monument of Belarus, preserving the architectural aesthetics of the Enlightenment period. The museum collection focuses on the family's contributions to Polish-Lithuanian history and the local significance of the Skoki estate.
