We visited there with an excursion to the beer festival on September 28, 2024. A picturesque place, friendly hosts. Special thanks to the gorgeous Beer Witch. You can listen to it endlessly!!! And everything would be fine.. and they ate delicious food, and played fun and interesting, and they inhaled lavender and twisted bretzel with their own hands...but! There is also a fly in the ointment here, which spoiled my mood and crossed out almost the whole day. The question of whether someone will cry if they don't get THEIR bretzel in the end, i.e. another tourist will pick it up drunk or for some other reason at first smiled. But when it came to me, it was very unpleasant. I had to choose from what was left...For me, for example, it was fundamentally important! It is outraging that such a situation repeats itself on every such excursion and no one wants to change anything in the system of issuing these pretzels. For example, issuing by numbers, but this number is not only under the bretzel on the protwin, but also in the hands of its owner. And children, perhaps, would not cry then, and adults would not leave you with sediment and a spoiled mood.
As of June 2024, this is still a potentially good place for tourism in rural areas. It's hard to call it a tourist complex. The location is far from the city and the historical basis as the territory of the old mill for the organization of a themed restaurant. However, unfortunately, the organization of the reception of large bus tours gives serious failures. The place turns into a banal dining room. With a mass arrival of tourists, you can neither eat nor have a good time. The territory for the most part does not represent anything even for walking, the usual rural view. The only outlet is a beer tasting tour accompanied by an interesting story from a girl inside the establishment.
A pleasant cafe stylized as the Middle Ages. But what is really unique there is a story about the history of beer with a tasting conducted by the hostess! She tells with love for this drink. Very informative and artistic. Book such an excursion, and believe me-you will not regret it!
I was there on 08/24/2024. The place is beautiful, a great location for a photo. And that's where the advantages ended. At the same time, a tour bus arrived with us. The crowd of people, the organization is 0, the staff can barely cope. They approached the bartender, asked if they could have a snack, and told him to wait for the waiter "somewhere here." In 10 minutes, no one came up. They left hungry, with a very blurred impression of the place. If you want to have a snack, it's better to plan another place.
A beautiful place, suitable for photo shoots. And that's it :(
We arrived on a day off, we wanted to try the local cuisine, but alas, the institution was waiting for an excursion group and was not served. They left hungry. On the second floor there is a small museum on the theme of Belarusian life. Admission is 5 rubles per person.
It's a bit boring, we left in 20 minutes.
A very good tourist complex. The place is very beautiful, restored with soul. Here you can see a collection of authentic household items, clothes, antique irons. You can eat delicious food. Craft beer and tincture are also offered. I tried everything, everything is great :) Just be careful with beer - it foams a lot, be prepared.
A wonderful place!
It is beautiful, colorful, delicious food and drink!
But most of all I liked kayaking on the Zhizhma River!
Thanks to the organizers!
Atmospheric, cute, cozy, delicious, a great vacation away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Excellent cuisine, delicious food, beautiful serving, delicious beer, free parking
We came with an excursion, of course we were waiting for a beer tasting. The hostess Alla fed us very hearty and tasty, gave us beer. After these words, everything is non-objective))). A very atmospheric place, there is a collection of knight's equipment and coats of arms INCL. I recommend.
We drove nearby, saw on the map that there is a cafe inside.A dirty pond in which a lone swan splashes is the first thing that catches your eye when entering the territory. We were met by friendly staff and conducted to a "cafe". There was a huge selection on the menu - only borscht, mashed potatoes and a piece of meat, kvass. Such a set lunch cost 18 rubles. Obviously heated food from the microwave..
We have not visited the museum, but I do not recommend the "cafe" itself..
I was there at the end of December 2021. The place is beautiful, there are a lot of people (a tourist bus has arrived) so there is a fuss. There is a cafe, but it works from a certain time, that is, it is unlikely that you will be able to eat (before 11-00 or even later). I suppose if I had pre-booked, the experience would have been better, but I was passing through. I wish you good luck in your development!
I was in the Free Miller on an excursion in the summer. A very memorable place, hospitable. An interesting program. They know how to interest and entertain guests. And more. The kitchen is very good.
There is a cafe. The kids have a lot to see. Adults will also be interested. Swords. There are a lot of interesting old utensils and everything else.

An interesting historical place to visit, there is a small weapons museum on the second floor, the cost is 5 rubles per person, souvenirs are on sale, it is possible to take lunch, there is a branded moonshine zlydnevka on sale. Camping with tents and kayaking are possible for fans of tourist holidays.
I stopped by to eat, drink coffee and buy beer. But before that, decide to go fishing on the pond. I caught and released two crucians. And then an employee came up to me and said that this is private property and you can't fish here))) Minus the customer and negative feedback.
We were here on an excursion with a tasting of Lida beer. We were impressed by the enthusiasm of the owners of the estate, we liked both the tour and the tasting. I wish there were more places like this!
It's a strange place, we stopped by on the way from Lida. There was not a single visitor. The young man offered to let them inside for 5p per person, and to conduct an excursion for 20. There's nothing to see from the outside.
A very colorful place, especially impressed by the "hereditary witch", who met us from the doorstep and treated us to beer, having previously taught us all the tricks of drinking this wonderful drink.

It all started with an article on the "Onlineer" from 13.08. and an interview with the owner of the institution. And since we have been actively exploring the sights of Belarus for the last 2 years, in addition to the XXVIII anniversary of the wedding, it was decided to make a secret gift to my wife. But here's the problem – they advise you to call the Mill in advance, make an order in advance, to exclude force majeure in the face of an influx of customers or an organized group. But there are no contacts anywhere (and in the Google map), there is no website (yet). Having raised the Online editorial office, the tourism department of the Lida Executive Committee, got hold of the body of the owner Gennady Petrovich. Having adequately listened to the request, in a short and businesslike manner, "The administrator will contact you in 30 minutes." And they called back. Everything is discussed, right down to the bouquet on the table, "NZ" in the form of cherry liqueur (for my wife, I'm driving) from the owner's personal stocks (this year has not yet been infused), menu, arrival time.
On August 22, after leaving Brest, and having walked around the estate of D.Zhemyslavl and other local beauties, we are going to the Mill. There's a call: "This is the receptionist, where are you going, what's the arrival time?". We confirm it.
The mill can be seen from afar if you drive along the R89 from the side of Trokeli. While the first "Wow" impressions of the building had not passed, they called for a table set for two. Everything is as agreed. A fireplace is being lit for us! It's a trifle, but it's nice – borscht is accompanied by 30 grams of sour cream and a piece of lard. Everything went well in the kitchen.
The owner himself was on the spot, we met, and received congratulations. Those who are passionate about the idea of developing their business and introducing visitors to the history of our country should still look for. As a gift from the institution, we were included in the beer tasting group. It's here, on the second floor of the mill, that you realize how much work and money have been invested. And until the end of the integrity of the complex and all the ideas… But, as they say, "With God's help," good luck and make everything work out. Honestly, looking at all this, it's not a pity to leave money. From my family, thank YOU very much!
And more. The object is made with a bias towards the Belarusian ethnic culture. A lot of old things (household items, furniture, utensils, etc.) are donated by people. For example, the day before arrival, someone brought a 100-year-old sleigh, and just left it at the entrance. Perhaps the owners will mark the gifts with a sign "From the Kastusievich family from D.Belakrylovshchina". And there is a memory about you, and something for posterity to see.
Finally, how to find the body of the owner Gennady Petrovich – suggested above.
Call the Mill – 8 029 378 77 56 , administrator Victoria.
Well done. Thank you. I recommend a visit. This is our story

We arrived at 15 o'clock. Everything is closed. No signs, no ads. Some worker was sawing boards. It feels like they are doing repairs. I couldn't explain anything.
Don't expect much from this place. Give them time to unwind, renovate, and earn capital for subsequent investments.
My feelings during the visit are as follows: it's interesting inside, it's beautiful around, lunch is inexpensive, but unfortunately the meat turned out to be rubber.
Good luck!
