The mansion of the Ciolac-Malski family is an architectural monument of national importance in the village of Bahmut, Călărași district (Republic of Moldova), built in the 19th century.
The mansion was built in neoclassical Russian style by the Polish nobility. In the past, it had a marble alley guarded symmetrically by two rows of chestnuts and pines. It included a chic park with exotic trees and shrubs and a lake.
Until 1945, the building was in excellent condition. Then, the Polish aristocracy left Bessarabia, and hosted the local school in the mansion.
Since 1989, after the construction of the new school building, it has been abandoned. Currently, the mansion is turned into a pile of garbage and risks being demolished. It has no roof, only the side walls and the front ones with the entrance columns.Talking to the locals, they proudly remember the times when they learned in this building and how until 1989 they took great care of it, but after 1989 it was abandoned and everything that could be stolen was stolen from the inside. They also say that if it were restored, it would be the pride of the village.
The walls are still strong, but the building is in a deplorable condition. When I got there, I expected to find at least an inscription about the mansion or a fence to protect it, instead, I found shrubs and a few goats grazing.

According to Valerian Grosu, architect and art teacher: “In the middle of the century. In the 19th century, the village estate was the property of the boyar Ciolac and included 1,819 tens, 542 forest tens. According to the peasant reform in Russia, after 1868, the peasants of the village are owned by «nadeluri» - 484 tens. The boyar Ciolac owned 1,712 dozen. After the death of the landowner Ciolac, the village estate passed into the possession of Elisaveta Dm. Malschi, a courtier of Polish origin.
In the 19th century, in Bessarabia, being part of the Tsarist Empire and Russia having great geopolitical interests in the Balkans, with the imminent outbreak of the Russo-Turkish war in the 1970s, the construction of the Odessa-Chisinau-Iasi railway section began. . Thus, around 1873, a new locality appears on the map of Bessarabia - the Corneşti-Gara railway station, an important station before boarding the train sets of the Corneşti hills, reaching here the Pereval station.
At the same time, not far from the new railway station, an accumulation lake was dug and the aqueducts that supplied water to the steam locomotives were installed. Even today the lake is called the "Royal Pond". From this moment, the village acquires a new development. The beautiful aristocratic mansion is built with neoclassical architecture, with a portico and Doric columns on the facade.
In 1887, instead of the old church, with the contribution of the boyar Vichentie Malschi, a new one was built of stone dedicated to "Saint Nicholas", which, through the symmetrical marble alley guarded by two rows of chestnuts and pines, formed a chic architectural ensemble.
The park around the mansion, with the various species of exotic trees and shrubs, with the recreational lake on which the indispensable swans swam, delighted the owners of the boyar's court and its guests. In 1892, the estate of the Malschi boyars had 1,559 tithes, and the peasants had 525 tithes.
In 1897, according to a new census conducted by the tsarist administration, 790 people (400 men and 390 women) already lived in Bahmut - all Christian Orthodox.
In 1903, the school building was built, and for the village priest, Ioan Vulpe, - a parish house. The tomb of the founder of the Holy Place has been preserved in the churchyard, above which, a beautiful black marble funerary monument was erected, which reminds us that Vichentie Malschi (1834-1884) and his sons: Lev (1856-1901) are buried here, Alexander (1858-1902) ”.
