No comments · Posted by Sergei Rzhevsky in Architecture, Photos, Travel
Mytky is a small village located in the Barskiy district of Vinnytsia Oblast. The main attraction of the village is the former estate of Nikolai Chikhachev – a picturesque palace built of yellow bricks in a mixed Gothic and Romanesque style.
Nikolai Chikhachev (1830-1917), an admiral of the Russian Imperial Navy, acquired this estate in the 1860s. In 1904-1905, he built a palace for the construction of which materials were imported from England. Around the palace he planted a park (10 hectares) for his daughter Sophia.
