Historical Background

The building, known as the Palaty (Chambers), was built on the orders of Catherine II to house the provincial administration. Today it is a museum complex.

Architecture

It is a three-story yellow-and-white building in the Classical style. Inside are exhibitions of Russian painting, displays about the region's country estates and interactive rooms for children.

The Park

Next to it is Lipki Park, a nice place to rest and read. Among the lindens grow rare trees brought from America, such as Douglas fir and eastern white pine.
