Krichev Castle, 18th-century castle in Krichev, Belarus
The Krichev Castle stands on an artificial hill with a two-story structure displaying classical architecture elements and featuring Egyptian-style entrance gates.
Prince Grigory Potemkin ordered the construction of this palace in 1778, following Catherine II's gift of the Krichev territory after the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth partition.
The palace interior contains ceremonial halls, a library, and reception rooms where nobles gathered for important meetings and social gatherings in the 1700s.
The castle now functions as both the Civil Registry Office and the Krichev Historical Museum, offering guided tours that present noble life from past centuries.
The building layout forms the letter 'E' in honor of Empress Catherine II, featuring collections of antique clocks, candlesticks, mirrors, and period tableware.
