Attractions of Haisyn district

The palace of the Sobansky family in Obodivka was built in 1800.

First, a house with a tower was built in the style of Romanticism with elements of the Italian Neo-Renaissance. The central building of the palazzo is connected by a two-story covered gallery with a four-story tower and a U-shaped building that form an inner courtyard.

The park, which descends to a 17-hectare pond, was created by the famous Irish park builder Dionysius Mickler.

During the reconstruction in 1900, the third floor of the left wing of the palace was added, the front part of the palace was decorated with an open terrace, which offers a panorama of the park and pond.

After the Bolshevik coup of 1917, the Bessarabian Commune was housed in the palace, and after the Second World War, it housed the district executive committee, district committee of the party and other district organizations. In 1959, the palace and park were handed over to the Obodivka boarding school.

Currently, the building of the Sobansky Palace is in a state of disrepair.
