Muraviovykh-Apostoliv Palace, Classical palace in Khomutets, Ukraine
Muraviovykh-Apostoliv Palace is a two-story stone building with classical proportions and select baroque details on its exterior in Khomutets. The structure maintains symmetrical lines and decorative elements that reflect its status as a grand residence from the 18th and 19th centuries.
Construction began in 1770 under the Apostol family and the property was acquired in 1806 by Ivan Muravyov-Apostol, placing it under the control of a politically active family. The building took shape during a period of major social and political change in the region.
The building held important gatherings for a political movement in the early 1820s, making it a symbol of resistance for those seeking change during that period.
The building is currently closed to visitors and remains unheated with no active maintenance, making it inaccessible from the inside. You can view the structure from the exterior to appreciate its architectural form and the surrounding grounds.
The surrounding park holds a three-trunk oak tree planted by Ivan Muravyov-Apostol to honor his three sons who participated in the political reform movement. The tree stands as a quiet memorial often missed by passing visitors.
