Regimental Office House

The Regimental Office House is a rectangular brick building in Chernihiv topped with a gable roof and distinctive high-peaked gables on its sides. Underground, the structure contains six vaulted chambers that served different purposes and provided stability to the building above.

The structure was built in the late 1600s as a command center for Cossack officers running military and administrative affairs. After losing its military role, it transitioned to serving civil government functions for the city.

The building demonstrates the craftsmanship of its era through carefully laid brickwork and details typical of the region. Walking around it, you can see how builders of the time expressed their skill in the walls and rooflines.

The building sits within Dytynets Park, making it accessible as part of a walking tour through the green space. The site is straightforward to locate if you follow the park paths leading through the grounds.

The upper sections of the building display windows and design details suggesting it was originally planned as a two-story structure. These features reveal interesting modifications the house underwent over time, often overlooked by visitors.
