From the house where Vysotsky lived, the Belarusian businessman made a strange museum "as a gift to all people"

The Belarusian owner of the hotel Sergey Koval has built an unusual house-museum "for all people" near Lake Litovka: anyone can come here for free and walk for as long as they want. The house has an unusual design — Koval explains this by the fact that the cat Katya is responsible for the architecture.

Vladimir Vysotsky and Marina Vladi rested on Lake Litovka, seven kilometers from Novogrudok, in 1968: the film "Sons Go into Battle" was filmed here. At first Vysotsky arrived alone and settled in a hotel, but then moved closer to the filming location — to the village of Litovka. A little later Marina Vladi came to him. A few years ago, the house where the famous couple lived was bought by Sergey Koval and began to rebuild for himself.

One of the rooms of the house is decorated with a bas-relief with a portrait of Vysotsky. Sergey is going to add the same image of Marina Vladi to the opposite wall.

Sergei's house makes a strange impression: richly decorated stucco rooms, velvet curtains, antique furniture, colorful pillows, forged things and a lot of gilding. The house and the plot are always full of strangers: they walk there for free and without supervision. The businessman explains that he "just gave this house to all people."

Work is still going on in the house, and the builders at the same time act as guides: they tell about the estate and show where to go.

Koval claims that it is not he who comes up with all these kitschy ideas for decorating the house, but Katya the cat, and the businessman and workers are only performers. In general, judging by the words of journalists, he tells a lot of fairy tales.

One of the sculptures on the site is strangled by a toad. The owner explains that this toad has strangled many creative people.

In Novogrudok, a businessman is called a Frenchman: they say that he received an inheritance from a French relative.

The estate does not bring Koval income. He explains that he has earned enough money to spend it on what he wants: "7 billion plans in his head — earthly life is not enough for all this."

When asked what will happen to the house after it, the businessman answers: "The house belongs to people. They will figure out what to do with it later." The man is sure that there will be people who are ready to further develop his business.
