The Zdravnevo estate is located near the village of Koitovo, on the left bank of the Western Dvina. In 1892 it was acquired by the famous Russian painter Ilya Repin. The manor house was rebuilt according to the drawings of Repin. During the summer seasons of 1892-1900, the pictures "The Belarusian", "Autumn Bouquet", "Moonlight Night", "The duel", "In the Sun" were created here. After 1900, вaughter of the artist Olga and her family lived in the estate. In the 1930s, the house was dismantled. In 1993, the "family nest" was revived and turned into the Museum-Estate of Repin.
