Samchyky Palace and Park, Samchyky
The Empire-style palace of the Chechels with a Japanese Cabinet and McClair's landscape park, now a state reserve.
The estate above the Sluch was founded in 1725 by Jan Chojecki. In 1790–1805 the palace was rebuilt for Colonel Petro Chechel in the Empire style to a design by Jakub Kubicki, and the park was planned by the Irishman Dionysius McClair. Five halls survive in the palace: the Round, the Great, the Roman, the Bedchamber and the Japanese Cabinet. The park of almost 19 ha numbers more than 200 species of trees, and in it stands a Chinese pavilion-icehouse. From 1956 an agricultural research station worked on the estate, in 1990 a museum opened here, and in 1997 a state historical and cultural reserve was created.
