The House of Freemasons. It was built in 1783-89 by architect Giuseppe De Saco as a personal residence. Meetings of the Grodno Masonic Lodge were also held here. Among the famous Freemasons of that time, besides De Saco himself, were Jean Emmanuel Gilibert, Yakov and Jan Bekyu, Frantisek Narvoish, Jan de Virion. Since 1802, the building has been used by charitable societies. And under the Grodno governor M. Butavt-Andrzejkovichi, the Masons again held their meetings here.
In Soviet times, there was an orphanage here, and then an anti-tuberculosis clinic.
Now the building houses the Center of Pre-university Education of the Yanka Kupala State University.
ps. We need to return the building to the mason!
An interesting place, well-maintained territory. A historic building that has changed its purpose over the years. Attracts the eye remains one of the examples of construction and architectural solutions of the past.
