Губернаторський палац, Administrative palace in Kharkiv, Ukraine
The Governor's Palace stands at 16 Universytetska Street with a neoclassical facade decorated with Ionic pilasters and triumphal arches on both sides.
The palace construction occurred between 1770 and 1777 under architects M. Tikhmenev, I. Vilyanov, and P. Yaroslavsky following Catherine II's order for her visit.
The building transformed into Kharkiv Imperial University in 1804, marking the beginning of higher education development in eastern Ukraine.
The Governor's Palace now functions as the main building of the Ukrainian Engineering and Pedagogical Academy, housing educational facilities and administrative offices.
The palace features memorial plaques dedicated to scientist I.I. Mechnikov and participants of the 1905 revolutionary events in Kharkiv.
