Mariinskyi Palace, Baroque palace in Pecherskyi District, Ukraine.

The Mariinskyi Palace displays wide symmetrical courtyards with two-story central building and single-story side wings adorned with Corinthian architectural elements.

Built between 1752 and 1755 under the supervision of architect Ivan Michurin following designs by Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli for Empress Elizabeth of Russia.

The palace serves as the ceremonial residence for Ukrainian presidents, hosting state ceremonies, diplomatic receptions, and official award presentations for Heroes of Ukraine.

Guided tours lasting 45 minutes operate Friday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, requiring advance reservations and passport verification for all visitors.

The palace underwent multiple reconstructions, including the replacement of its wooden second floor after an 1819 fire and reopened in 2018 after extensive renovations.
