Novaye Pole can be explored through the history of the Drucki-Lubecki family manor house and the autumn festival “Garbuzy i slimaki”. There are also historic park features and a regional sightseeing route. For your planning, it is worth checking building and museum visits, as well as transport, in advance.

Manor house, historic park and college

The ruins of the Drucki-Lubecki family manor house are located on Studencheskaya Street. They are designated as an architectural monument and historic park and are being restored. The manor house includes a small tower with tall, semicircular windows. A large barn also survives nearby; it served as an icehouse and is the only surviving old outbuilding. Some historic plantings and fragments of a stone enclosure remain in the manor house park.

The former noble estate was used by the Soviet commandant’s office of the 15th Border Troops Division. Among other things, defectors were received there, scouts were trained and smugglers were detained.

Novopolsky Agricultural-Economic College is located on the grounds of an old park; one of its educational buildings is a 19th-century architectural monument. If you would like to visit the building specifically, ask in advance whether a visit is possible.

A 2021 description mentions a sign at the park entrance that provides information about the manor house’s history and members of the family, and shows a map of important sites in the village and its surroundings. As the information on site may change, check the map before relying on it.

A 2019 description mentions the Museum of Combat and Labor Glory in the college dormitory, with several display cases and a stand about the Drucki-Lubecki family. If you are considering a visit, enquire in advance about access.

Autumn festival and flower park

The origins of the village festival “Snails and Pumpkins of Novoye Pole” go back to joint work in the old park: a 2018 account describes residents cleaning the park and planting flowers. The pumpkin and the snail are the symbols of the autumn festival “Garbuzy i slimaki”.

The autumn festival “Garbuzy i slimaki” has already been held for the eighth time; the programme included, among other things, mazes and races. At the 2025 autumn festival, guests could see two ash trees and an almost 120-year-old oak.

A 2025 article describes a walk-through maze in the flower park of Novoye Pole. Check current visiting arrangements before you go. The historic traces of the park at the manor house and the community origins of the village festival offer two different perspectives on the place.

Regional route and transport

Novoye Pole is part of a regional sightseeing route that connects the manor house ruins with Troskovshchina, Khmelevka, the Stalin Line Historical and Cultural Complex, Zaslavl, the Minsk Sea, Zhdanovichi, Semkovo and Syomkov Gorodok. If you are planning beyond the village itself, use these destinations to choose the stops that suit your trip.

A 2021 travel guide lists minibus route 1203 and buses 298 and 207 from Kamennaya Gorka metro station to the Novoye Pole stop, directly at the park entrance. Check whether these services are currently running before travelling.

When looking for accommodation, you can first decide whether Novaye Pole itself is your main focus or whether you would like to include the regional route. Plan your stay around the visits you have in mind: the manor house and park history, the festival theme and—after checking access in advance—the college buildings or museum. This way, your accommodation plans reflect the sights you want to visit without assuming a particular length of stay.
