Not far from Dziaržynsk, in the village of Stańkava, there is a manor-park complex. The Čapskis became the owners of Stańkava in 1772. Emieryk Zacharyja Mikalaj Sieviaryn Huten-Čapski and his son Karaĺ Jan Aliaksandr laid a beautiful architectural and landscape ensemble built in the Romanesque style.

The manor and park complex of the Čapskis counts is a monument of architecture and garden art of the second half of the 19th century. It is located in the village of Stańkava, Dziaržynsk district, on a flat terrain (a rectangular area of about 15 hectares) with a slope towards an artificial reservoir, which limits it from the south. From the west, the border runs along the main street of the village. The complex included a palace, a wing, two residential houses, outbuildings, and a manor park. The building of the wing, the so-called "skarbiec" (pavilion-library with a rare collection of paintings and numismatics), a residential house, the eastern gate, gazebos, and some outbuildings have been preserved. The park was laid in the 1870s, and the park complex itself was formed until the beginning of the 20th century.

After the October Revolution, the palace housed a school, then a colony for juvenile criminals. During the Great Patriotic War, the palace was destroyed, and after the war, a boarding school was built in its place, which still works today.
