Attractions of Antoniny

The stylish mansion, which now houses the Antoninivsk Town Council, was built at the beginning of the 20th century according to the project of the Viennese architect Ferdinand Fellner, the author of the Odesa Opera.

This is one of the few surviving pre-revolutionary buildings in the Art Nouveau style with the use of half-timbered timbers, which were used to build the square in front of the front gate of the Sangushko-Potocki palace. The Potocki garage for 9 cars and a workshop were located here.

Today, the restored mansion is one of the most visible and attractive architectural monuments of the village.

The palace and park complex, fragments of which have been preserved in Antoniny, were created by magnates Sangushko and Potocki in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The palace-residence was built by the regent of the crown chancellery, Ihnatiy Malchevskyi, who had leased the estate from his wife's sister, Barbara Sangushko.

At the end of the 18th century, Prince Yevstakhiy Sangushko, who settled in Antoniny, significantly expanded and beautified the picturesque park laid out on the banks of the Ikopot river, and in 1803 he built a greenhouse. He also reconstructed the palace complex and decorated the interiors, inviting the architect Francois Arvo for this.

The last reconstruction in the late Baroque style was carried out by the Potoski at the beginning of the 20th century under the leadership of the celebrated Viennese architect Ferdinand Fellner, the author of the buildings of the opera houses in Odesa and Chernivtsi. The palace housed a large collection of works of art. There were over 3,000 varieties of flowers and shrubs in the park.

Most of the manor buildings were destroyed during the two world wars. A large two-story outbuilding (now a boarding school), a manager's house, a horse arena (now a gym), an entry gate and a fence have been preserved.
