Blue Palace

Cherkasy, Khreshchatyk St., 229/20

About this place

In the central part of Cherkasy, it is hard to miss the blue building that resembles a fairy-tale castle. This is what the refined Blue Palace, designed by V. Horodetskyi, looks like. The building was erected in the Art Nouveau and Gothic styles. Its facades are decorated with balconies with pilasters and stucco, elongated pointed windows and numerous spires on the facade.

The exact year the Blue Palace was built is unknown, but it is assumed to have been in the early 20th century. At that time, the building belonged to the hotel

Address: Khreshchatyk, 229/20 »Slovianska». The first floor was set aside for a shop, and the second housed hotel rooms. After the October Revolution, the hotel premises passed to the Bolsheviks, who placed their headquarters here. By the end of the 20th century, the palace was in a neglected state and on the verge of collapse. It was saved by a local banker, who acquired the building and housed the bank there.
