After the Shydlovsky manor, the manor belonged for some time to the hero of the Franco-Russian war of 1812, Count Orlov-Denisov, then it passed to the Kharkiv nobles Dukhivskyi. In 1891, by decree of Oleksandr III, the Staryi Merchyk complex was declared a nature reserve. During the Soviet rule, a farming school was placed in the manor. Now the buildings are in bad condition.

Після Шидловських садиба деякий час належала герою франко-російської війни 1812 року графу Орлову-Денисову, потім перейшло харківським дворянам Духівським. В 1891 році указом Олександра III старомерчинський комплекс оголошено заповідником. За радянської влади в садибі розмістили хліборобську школу. Зараз будівлі в поганому стані.

Shydlovsky Palace

Palace / manor , Architecture

The palace in Staryi Merchyk was built in 1786-1788 by the active state councilor Hryhoriy Shydlovsky, a representative of one of the noblest noble families of the Kharkiv region.

On the site of a somewhat modest parental home, he built a magnificent palace in the style of Louis XVI. Presumably, the project was developed by Kharkiv provincial architect Petro Yaroslavskyi (according to other versions - Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli or Vasyl Bazhenov).

The complex belongs to the earliest architectural monuments of the transition from baroque to classicism. A large two-story building on a high plinth, oval in plan, with one facade facing the courtyard with stone wings, and the other facing the parterre with stairs leading to the shore of the pond. The palace had several drawing rooms and a magnificent ballroom decorated with moldings.

The manor park was laid out in 1724, then expanded. Its landscape was formed by age-old trees, ponds, green lawns, gazebos and bridges. Oak, maple, ash, linden grow. There are also silver and Canadian spruce, and a straight-coniferous pine. A total of about 30 species and forms of trees.

The decline of the estate began after Shyldovsky sold it to Count Orlov-Denisov. In the second half of the 19th century, the new owner, entrepreneur Yevhen Dukhivskyi, cared more about the development of the economy.

In the 1920s, an agricultural school was located in the manor, and the palace was seriously re-planned. Since 1997, the palace has remained ownerless.
