Krupensky Palace in Kryvchyk

One of the most beautiful and mysterious manors of Podillia stands in the village of Kryvchyk. The two-storey palace combines Baroque decoration of the main block with neo-Gothic features, the most striking being an octagonal four-tier clock tower. For a long time local historians could not establish who built it and when; today it is associated with the family of General Mykhailo Krupensky and dated to the second half of the 19th century. After 1917 the estate was looted; later it housed a holiday home, a boarding home for the blind and a home for war invalids, and since 1978 a psychoneurological care home, which still operates there. That is why the palace can only be viewed from the outside. The servants' house, storehouses and stables have survived nearby, and the palace itself largely retains its unique interior decoration.
