The interiors were decorated with stucco and carved wood, crystal chandeliers and two-meter candelabra (fragments of the decor have been preserved).
The palace is surrounded by a balustrade, the central portal has 6 columns, the park facade is decorated with monumental stairs. A beautiful park descends from them to the banks of the Seret River, where a 250-year-old black Austrian pine grows, a natural monument of state importance.
