At the birthplace of the last king of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the building of the former presbytery is for sale
In Kamyanets district, an unusual house was put up for sale — a former presbytery, meaning the residence of a Catholic priest. It is located in the village of Voŭčyn and stands out because it is fully adapted for living and does not require major repairs, although it is quite expensive, writes Times.by.

The initial price of the object is 1 million rubles, which approximately corresponds to 340 thousand dollars. This is a two-story brick house with an area of 367 square meters, with an attic, a basement, and two heating extensions. Along with the building, a large land plot of 1.7 hectares is also for sale.
The main advantage of the house is the presence of all necessary communications: electricity, water, sewerage, heating, and even telephone connection.
The building stands in a picturesque location — directly opposite the main attraction of Voŭčyn, the Church of the Holy Trinity. This Baroque-style church was built in 1733, neglected during Soviet times, and fully restored in 2020. The priest's house itself appeared approximately at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries.
The house does not have the status of a historical and cultural value, so the future owner will not be restricted by strict requirements when using it.
The object is being sold by the open joint-stock company "Belavezhski", a meat product manufacturer, which is selling unneeded property through State Property Committee tenders. The auction is scheduled for January 27 and will take place in Brest, if there are interested parties to purchase this rare lot.
Voŭčyn, by the way, is known in history as the birthplace of the last king of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Stanisław August Poniatowski: it was here that he was born on January 17, 1732. In 1938, his ashes were moved from the Saint Petersburg (then called Leningrad) Basilica of St. Catherine of Alexandria to the burial vault of the Voŭčyn church. It turned out that this was not a good idea, as just a year later, World War II began with the arrival of Soviet power. Poniatowski's burial was plundered, and in 1994, what remained of him was transferred to St. John the Baptist Cathedral in Warsaw.
