House of Governor

The House of Governor is an administrative building in central Voronezh featuring classical Russian architecture from the 18th century with symmetrical facades, large windows, and stone construction. The structure displays typical features of administrative buildings from this period with multiple stories and an organized interior layout.

The building was constructed during the period when Voronezh developed into a major military and trading center of Russia, serving as the seat of regional administration. It played a role in the administrative changes that shaped the development of the Voronezh territory across several centuries.

The building now holds a collection of objects and documents that show how daily work happened in this regional power center. Visitors can see the spaces where officials conducted the business of governing the territory.

The building is easy to reach, located near other historical structures, and can be accessed on foot from central streets. It helps to arrive early in the day to explore the rooms without crowds.

The rooms preserve details of the original furnishings and fittings that show how the workspaces of governors and their staff actually looked. These partially preserved elements give a direct impression of how work was conducted in the 18th century.
