In the village of Lopandino, majestic ruins of the estate palace remain, which once belonged to Countess Maria Vladimirovna Voiekova, born Princess Golitsyna. The park adjacent to the palace has partially survived, as well as several production buildings. Maria Voiekova was one of the largest landowners, owning over 30,000 desyatinas of land in the Sevsky district. During the 1905-1907 revolution, peasant unrest occurred in her estates, including multiple arsons of property, such as the burning of the manor house in the village of Radogoshch.

Her husband was a relative of the last commandant of the Winter Palace under Nicholas II, V.N. Voiekov, whose memoirs have recently been republished and portray the emperor in the most favorable light.

Maria Voiekova possessed outstanding managerial and organizational skills, and her Radogoshch estate was noted in the early 20th century for its remarkable agriculture, grass seeding, horse breeding, distillery, and forestry. By her order, a large sugar factory was established in the Lopandino hamlet in 1896 and launched in 1898, becoming the main enterprise in this settlement. Residential houses for craftsmen and a dormitory for seasonal workers were also built here. The location for the factory was chosen thoughtfully, near the central estate and the Komarichi railway station, which appeared in 1896. It is possible that the location of the station was determined with Voiekova's wishes in mind, as she had connections in government circles. The promptness of the factory's construction, laid almost simultaneously with the railway, is unlikely to be a coincidence. Considering that the Lopandino sugar factory became the only such enterprise in Bryansk in the late 1920s, it is worth evaluating the entrepreneurial activities of its founder.

In 1905-1907, peasant unrest occurred in Voiekova's estates, as in thousands of others, and the manor house in Radogoshch was burned. However, unlike some neighboring landowners who moved to cities, and her great-grandmother, who left her Radogoshch estate after the uprising, Voiekova did not abandon her homeland but moved to Lopandino, where the construction of a stone palace began. Documents recording the start and completion of the construction have not yet been found, but it likely finished no later than 1910. The exterior of the palace, resembling a medieval castle, testified to the tastes of the owners and their desire to avoid future uncertainties. Thick walls, tall towers, narrow windows, massive gates, and extensive basement areas could ensure a prolonged safe stay even in the event of popular unrest. The main functions of the palace and the adjacent territories were related to providing comfortable conditions for the owners and guests. A small park was laid out next to the palace, a pond was arranged, and a horse-breeding farm was established nearby, where Orlov trotters were bred. The palace was preserved even during the Soviet years.

In the 1920s-1930s, a factory vocational school operated here, followed by a secondary school. After the Great Patriotic War, the surviving building housed the Lopandino Pedagogical College, and after its closure, it again became a secondary school. When the school moved to a new building, several families lived in separate rooms of the palace.

Today, most of Maria Voiekova's estate palace is destroyed. Only ruins remain, allowing one to imagine how the countess and her entourage lived in the last years of the imperial regime. This is one of the forgotten monuments of noble estate culture from the early 20th century in Bryansk.
