Vorontsov Palace

The palace was built in the first half of the 19th century for Count Mikhail Vorontsov, governor-general of the Novorossiysk region. The northern facade of the palace is designed in Tudor style, while the southern terrace, "guarded" by marble lions, incorporates elements of Eastern architecture. The palace's state rooms are decorated in traditional English interior style and have largely retained their original finishes. Here, you'll see paintings and sculptures by Russian and Western European masters, as well as decorative and applied art objects. Visitors can explore the Blue Drawing Room, the State Dining Room, the vestibule, the Winter Garden, and other spaces. The palace is complemented by a 30-hectare park featuring rare and exotic trees, ponds, fountains, and a tea house.
