The ruins of the palace of Prince Petro Trubetsky in Kozatske are one of the few surviving noble estates of the Kherson region.

The palace was built in the style of the French Renaissance on the high bank of the Dnipro. The main entrance with a stone gate and a corner fortress tower faces the river. Retaining walls with archbutanes support the general style of defensive architecture. One of the wings is made in pseudo-Gothic style.

The palace complex is located on the territory of a large, but extremely neglected park. Most of the buildings are in ruins. Currently, the palace is owned by Prince Trubetsky OJSC, restoration is planned.

The water tower, which supplied water to Prince Trubetsky's estate, was built on the basis of the ruins of an ancient watchtower of the 14th century by the owner of the local manor, Prince Petro Trubetsky, at the end of the 19th century.

According to one version, the tower was built during the time of Prince Vitovt (XIV century), when the border of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania passed through these lands. Later, a fourth tier with arrow windows in the pseudo-Gothic style was added.

Currently not in use.
