During the Soviet years, most buildings were dismantled for building materials. A museum has been opened in the preserved buildings.

Місто Василівка розташоване на березі Каховського водосховища, на трасі Запоріжжя-Мелітополь.

Засноване в ХVIII столітті запорозькими козаками як зимівник. В 1784 році ці землі перейшли у власність генерал-майора Василя Попова, керуючого канцелярією князя Григорія Потьомкіна. Попов заснував село, назвавши його своїм ім'ям, побудував залізничну станцію, суконну фабрику, шкіряний і цегельний заводи, лікарні, школи.

Його онук Василь Попов в кінці XIX століття розгорнув грандіозне садибне будівництво, запросивши відомого зодчого Миколу Бенуа. Палацовий комплекс в стилі неоромантизму називають "замком Попова" за вдалу стилізацію під середньовічну оборонну архітектуру. В радянські роки більшість споруд була розібрана на будматеріали.

Popov Manor Museum-Reserve (Castle)

Palace / manor , Architecture , Museum / gallery

The palace and park complex in Vasylivka, on the basis of which the historical and architectural museum-reserve "Popov's Manor" was created, received the popular name "Popov's Castle".

The grandiose palace was built in 1894 (probably according to the project of the architect Mykola Benois) in the style of neo-romanticism with elements of Gothic and Baroque and was reminiscent of medieval European castles in architecture. The main building had a ballroom, mirror rooms, a library with rare books, a picture gallery with originals by Titsian, Goya and Rembrandt.

In Soviet times, most buildings were dismantled for building materials. The crenellated walls with a gate, two outbuildings, a carriage house, a stable, and a watch tower have been preserved. The monument is in a state of disrepair, a residential building and a boarding school are located on its territory.

A museum of the manor's history has been opened in the western wing, where, in particular, Bryullov's paintings are presented. Recently, the clearing of the palace basements and other dungeons, where tours began, was completed.

During the large-scale Russian invasion in 2022, the buildings of the Popov estate were damaged, and the museum exhibits were looted by the Russian occupiers.
