The restoration of objects of historical and cultural value is under special state control.
The Ministry of Culture, together with the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee, has developed an action plan for the preservation of unused objects of historical and cultural heritage in the Vitebsk region.
For each object, specific preservation measures have been determined, including repair and restoration work, deadlines, and responsible executors.
One way to preserve objects is to sell them at auction.
Thus, in April, the committee is offering 7 unused objects with the status of historical and cultural value for sale at auction, all at the basic rate.
Each of the objects has its own history.
Among the objects offered are:
The buildings of the spirit distillery and the cheese factory, which are part of the "Staraya Belitsa" estate complex, built in the early 19th century. In the 17th-18th centuries, the estate belonged to the Sapieha family, and later to the Svyatsky family.
At one time, the future classic of Belarusian literature, Yanka Kupala, served here.
The Bernardine Monastery in Dubrovno, which was founded in 1630.
There is a legend according to which the monastery and the church were burned down by order of Franciszek Lubomirski, the then owner of Dubrovno, because the monks of the monastery married his daughter to a poor nobleman. Repenting of his actions, Lubomirski restored the monastery building in 1809, which has survived to this day.
The Carmelite Monastery is a former monastery and a complex of historical buildings of the 17th-18th centuries in Glubokoye.
In 1735, the adjacent church was rebuilt in the Vilnius Baroque style according to the design of architect I. K. Glaubitz, and at the same time, a stone residential building of the monastery was erected. According to historical data, Napoleon also stayed here during his campaign to Moscow.
The committee reminds that the acquisition of an object of historical and cultural value imposes additional encumbrances on the buyer.
Thus, the buyer must sign a protection agreement for the historical and cultural value within 30 calendar days from the date of acquisition. Within 12 months, they must apply to the Ministry of Culture for permission to carry out repair and restoration work and complete it within the established deadlines.
Restrictions and conditions for the sale of assets shall be mandatorily indicated in the published notices for each auction lot.
