The History of Dyatlovo
In comparison with other towns of the country, this town is quite young. The first mention of it dates back to 1498. At that time Ostrozhsky was given the opportunity to found a town for his services. At the beginning of the XVI century, a castle was built which fulfilled protective functions for a long period of time. In the middle of the XVI century, the first church was built, which remains a jewel of the town nowadays. During the Northern War, forces of the Russian army were placed on the territory of Dyatlovo, for a week Peter I himself lived there. But this period was very sad for Dyatlovo because the troops had to retreat and the place was ravaged and burned. Then the Radziwill family built a beautiful castle. During wartime, soldiers lived in the palace.
