Hyivka Estate, Liubotyn
The derelict 19th-century palace of the princes Sviatopolk-Mirsky in the park of the Hyivka estate.
The estate at Hyivka was founded in 1802, when the retired major Yona Poznansky bought land here. In 1821 it was inherited by the fabulist Vasyl Maslovych; on the basis of a house of 1815–1820, a palace combining classicism and neo-Gothic arose in the 1840s. In 1881 the estate was bought by Prince Dmytro Sviatopolk-Mirsky. After 1917 it housed a children's home and a boarding school, and on 1 August 2015 the building burned down. The monument of national significance is in a dangerous state: the roof and floors are collapsing; on 2–3 July 2026 it was laser-scanned for a 3D model. Nearby survives St Nicholas's Church of 1843.
Hyivka is the southern district of Liubotyn (landmark: 29B Sadova Street); from Kharkiv by suburban train to Liubotyn station or by bus No. 1502 from Kholodna Hora metro station. The palace is viewed from outside only — it is dangerous to go inside (Suspilne, 20.07.2026). No hours or tickets.
