Palace / manor , Architecture
A half-ruined three-tiered tower towers over the ruins of the Tereshchenko Palace in the village of Denyshi, right next to the track, giving the ruins some resemblance to a medieval castle, from which it got its current name.
The palace was built in 1910-1191 according to the project of the architect Pavlo Holandskyi, using progressive architectural and construction methods at that time. Thus, during construction, concrete was widely used, and shaped elements were made with brick plaster. At that time, the estate belonged to Nadiya Tereshchenko, the daughter of a sugar factory, active State Councilor Fedir Tereshchenko.
After the Bolshevik coup of 1917, the Tereshchenko palace was looted. Despite severe destruction, the surviving walls of the palace still retain traces of rich stucco decorations and luxury.
