Shcherbyna Palace

Sherbyna Palace became a symbol of the city of Cherkasy thanks to its role in the modern city. It is a modern registry office, where festive wedding ceremonies have been held for 50 years already. The building itself was erected in 1892 by the Cherkasy entrepreneur Andrian Sherbyna. The house was designed in the Neo-Renaissance style by the famous architect Volodymyr Horodetskyi. The author of the project used the architectural style that was current at the time, added features of eclecticism, and created a true architectural masterpiece, which is now an ornament of Khreshchatyk Street.

At the end of the 19th century, the two-storey building was part of the palace complex. It included side wings, a stable, a fountain, and a winter garden. Near Sherbyna Palace there was a servants' house. According to different sources, Sherbyna lived in the house for only a short time. In 1912, he leased it to the land administration. During the revolution, party authorities were located here, and in the years of the Great Patriotic War — the German occupiers. Only in 1978 did the building become the Palace of Marriages.
