Krichev Castle

Krichev Castle sits on an artificial hill and displays a two-story classical structure with distinctive Egyptian-style gates at the entrance. The building now serves as both a civil administration office and a museum of local history.

Construction of this palace began in 1778 following the acquisition of the Krichev territory through political changes in Eastern Europe. The building reflected the power and aspirations of the Russian nobility who controlled the region.

The interior shows spaces where noble families conducted their daily affairs and entertained guests. The decorated rooms give visitors a sense of how the upper class lived during the 1700s.

The castle functions today as both an administrative office and a museum offering guided tours through the historic rooms. Visitors should know that accessing the building involves climbing the artificial hill where it stands.

The building was deliberately designed in the shape of the letter 'E' to honor a political figure of importance. Inside, visitors can see collections of antique clocks, candlesticks, and period dining objects that belonged to noble households.
