History

Przezdziecki Palace in the 1930s

Woropajewo, as it was known in Polish, was part of Poland in the interwar period. According to the 1921 census, the population was 50.1% Polish, 38.7% Belarusian, and 7.3% Jewish.

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the town was first occupied by the Soviet Union until 1941, then by Nazi Germany until 1944, and re-occupied by the Soviet Union afterwards, which eventually annexed it from Poland in 1945.
