Many interesting castles and palaces have been preserved in Ukraine. A lot of them are considered architectural monuments today. Some palaces and castles are neglected and may collapse and disappear in the near future. It is not known whether they will be restored and will reach the next generations.

The ruins of Sanhushkiv Palace are in Iziaslav city in Khmelnytska region. The palace was built in the 18th century in Baroque style. Sanhushkiv Palace was built as a residence for princes. It was built next to Novozaslavskyi Castle. At the end of the 19th century, the palace became owned by the Russian Imperial Army, with soldiers’ barracks housed in the rooms.
