The first documentary mentions of the village of Beryoza, found in the regional archive, date back to 1763. At that time, the village had 168 men and 157 women living in it, and there were several noble estates here. The last owner of one of the manors was Alexander Nikolayevich Volzhin, a representative of the noble family, born in 1860 and died in 1937.

Volzhin was educated at the Imperial Lyceum of Tsarevich Nikolai, then studied at the law faculty of Moscow University. He held the position of governor in the Siedlce and Chełm provinces, which are now part of Poland, and worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. From 1915 to April 1916, he was the chief prosecutor of the Holy Synod. After the events of 1917, Volzhin emigrated to France, where he died in Nice and was buried in the "Cocade" cemetery.

The old-timers of the village recall that Volzhin was a just, though strict man. If someone stole timber, he did not punish them but merely gave a stern admonition. However, in 1905, during the peasant uprisings, his house and office were burned down.

The Volzhin estate housed a valuable library, which was later transferred to the zemstvo school. After the revolution, the estate was handed over to the collective farm, then it housed a school, and in the post-war years, a boarding school. Children from other villages lived here to attend primary and secondary school.

Among the buildings of the estate, the servant's house has survived to this day and is now a residential building, along with a wing with a mezzanine and a stable building, also used as a residential house. Unfortunately, the wing is in poor condition, the building is deteriorating, and only the ceiling moldings and remnants of the parquet floor remain.
