The former noble estate of the ancient Leslie family in the village of Herchik.

"Gerchikovo was a very beautiful village, with a huge stone manor house and a stone church, an alley of huge, magnificent chestnuts went to the house, and the house itself was surrounded by flower beds, greenhouses and a park, down the hillside descending to a vast pond."

Now the estate has been carefully restored, but it has not become a museum.

The house became a hotel, which immediately after the opening entered the TOP 15 hotels in the world inhabited by ghosts.

Still - the descendants of the ancient Scottish family Leslie brought to the Smolensk land the mystical spirit of Scotland.
