Nemyriv Palace
More than 140 years ago, Maria Shcherbatova chose a beautiful spot in the village of Nemyriv to build her palace. She entrusted the work on the project to the then famous Czech architect Jiří Stibral. He brought distinct Prague accents to the building's decor. Stucco moldings, columns, and clear lines make the manor truly fabulous.
The palace has many luxurious rooms.
And for those who enjoy long walks, one of the most famous arboretums in Ukraine is located nearby - Shcherbatova park. By the way, since 2007, it is included in the list of 7 wonders of this region.
The palace was built by a Czech architect.

Grocholski-Mozhaisky Palace
At the end of the 18th century, a Polish magnate built a real medieval castle in the village of Vorontsovytsia. Mighty towers rise on both sides of the building. Strong walls and double gates were to be built around it. However, the plans were not to be realized.
The Grocholski-Mozhaisky Palace was planned as a fortress.
The estate was rebuilt many times. Over time, a second floor and new luxurious halls were added, the defenses disappeared, and stables and outbuildings were built in their place. However, even now the beauty of the palace does not leave anyone indifferent.
