Here are some abandoned places that we discovered in Ukraine

Kachinivka Palace

An amazing palace in Chernigov Oblast not too far from Kyiv.

Built in the 1770’s for one Pyotr Rumyantsev, Catherine II’s viceroy of Little Russia. After his death it went to the Tarnovsky Family. During the 1800’s every famous Ukrainian alive spent at least some time at the residence Schevchenko and Gogol among them.

During the Soviet Union the grounds were used as a prison and a tuberculosis hospital. Through all of that though the palace, out buildings and park surrounding all of it remained in amazing condition. Today it is a museum and has been a National Cultural Reserve in Ukraine since 1982.
