Loshitskaya manor

Лошицкая усадьба, Belarus

Description

The young wife of the owner of the estate of Prince Lyubansky, behind the back of her eternally busy husband, had an affair with the Minsk governor Musin-Pushkin. After one of the quarrels with her husband, Jadwiga ran out of the house into the park and did not return. Her body was found the next morning in a nearby river. The grief-stricken Prince Lubansky abandoned all business and left Minsk forever, planting a Manchurian apricot on the site of his wife's death. According to legend, the ghost of Jadwiga appears in the park during the flowering of this tree.
