Palace of Culture Energetik, Palace of Culture in Pripyat, Ukraine.

The Palace of Culture Energetik building features a cinema, theatre, library, gymnasium, swimming pool, boxing ring, and multiple dancing halls across its floors.

The structure opened its doors in 1970 as a recreational center for Pripyat residents, serving the community until the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster forced evacuation.
