Dzerzhinovo (Russian: Дзержиново; Belarusian: Дзяржынава; Polish: Dzierżynowo), until 1881 known as Ozemblovo (Polish: Oziębłowo; Russian: Оземблово; Belarusian: Аземблава), today known as the State Cultural Institution of the Dzerzhinovo Homestade Museum, is a historical and cultural estate, including a 100 ha nobleman's manor with a grange, located by the Neman River in Belarus.[1][2]

Felix Dzerzhinsky, who founded and headed the Cheka, the first Soviet secret police, was born in the manor.
