Galitzine Estate in Trostianets

The Galitzine Estate encompasses a grand manor house surrounded by landscaped gardens, preserved park grounds, and architectural remnants that showcase traditional Ukrainian aristocratic residential design from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Originally established in the 18th century, the estate was later owned by Leopold Koenig, a prominent sugar industry entrepreneur who transformed it into a center of agricultural and industrial activity during the 19th century economic boom.

The estate gained cultural significance when composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky visited in 1864, staying at a villa while working on compositions including parts of his overture 'The Storm' during his creative period.

Located within the Trostianets urban community with access via local roads and nearby railway connections to Sumy, the estate offers visitors guided tours of preserved buildings, gardens, and recreational park areas.

The estate features rare surviving elements including a round riding school, a grotto of the nymphs, wooden sculptures, and an amphitheater within the park grounds that demonstrate elaborate 19th-century landscape architecture.
