Potocki Palace, French classical palace in central Lviv, Ukraine.
The building is a three-story residence with high mansard roofs and decorated facades in central Lviv. The entrance features an arched portico supported by Ionic columns, while the interior contains several grand halls with different color themes.
The residence was built between 1880 and 1890 following designs by French architect Louis Dauvergne for Count Alfred Potocki. The design drew inspiration from residences of Louis XIV, bringing French classicism to eastern Europe.
The palace houses the European Art Museum with exhibitions of paintings from the 14th to 18th centuries across several decorated halls.
Guided tours at several price levels allow access to the Red Hall, Blue Hall, and Mirror Hall. The visit takes about an hour and provides insight into the architecture and artworks on display.
In 1919, American pilot Edward Graves crashed his plane into the building during celebrations. The repairs lasted until 1931 and altered parts of the facade.
