Homieĺ Palace Complex, Palace complex with park in Gomel, Belarus.

The palace complex features a museum, cathedral, chapel, and family vault within a park setting along the Sozh River in eastern Belarus.

Count Pyotr Rumyantsev-Zadunaisky constructed the palace in the 18th century before Field Marshal Ivan Paskevich expanded it with art collections in the 19th century.

The palace museum contains over 150,000 exhibits, including the Eleusa Icon created by the Faberge company and numerous aristocratic art collections.

Located 300 kilometers from Minsk, the complex received 309,200 visitors in 2012 and maintains regular guided tours through its buildings and gardens.

The last owner of the palace, Irina Paskevich, translated Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace into French while residing in this architectural ensemble.
