Nature
The Gusiak biological cranberry reserve preserves an extensive wetland in its natural state and serves as a habitat for bog cranberries. The reserve is home to the Tsar Oak. The Pogezhin Tsar Oak is considered the oldest common oak tree in Belarus; it is 46 meters tall and more than 800 years old.
The Pogezhin Spring has a furnished bathing area. Thus, various natural features coexist in the Malorita District: a reserve for yellow lady’s slipper orchids, a naturally preserved wetland with bog cranberries, and distinctive old oak trees.

The Zhemchuzhina sports complex includes swimming pools, a children’s pool, a whirlpool, and a sauna. Velikorita Park was laid out in the 19th century at the same time as a new wooden manor house was built. It is a natural monument of local significance.
History
Antonovo belongs to the parish of St. Elias Church in Velikorita; its history includes a stone church built in 1887 and a brick church consecrated in 1995. The former Elias Church in Velikorita was blown up during the German retreat in 1944.
A report compiled no earlier than November 1944 states that on November 2, armed fighters entered the village of Antonovo and fired automatic weapons at a farmers’ meeting. The attack killed the chairman of the village council and two activists; Matveyev, the official responsible for grain procurement, was wounded.
