Antoniny Palace
Antoniny Palace ( uk, Антонінський палац) was a palace of the noble Sanguszko and Potocki families in Antoniny, Ukraine. It was destroyed during the Russian Civil War in August 1919. Today the park and various service buildings remain, such as the stables. History In the 1760s, Barbara Sanguszko (1718–1791), grants for long-term use the village and estate of Holodky to Ignatius Malchevsky, who was married to her sister Antonina, and was regent of the royal chancellery. The couple settled in Holodky, and decided to construct a palace and a garden. Ignatius named the palace after his beloved wife Antonina. The name also became associated with the village, so Holodky became Antoniny. At the start of the 19th century, the castle returned to the Sanguszko family, who further renovated the palace and turned into a splendid estate. When Maria Klementyna Sanguszko (1830–1903) married Alfred Józef Potocki (1822–1889), Antoniny palace transferred to the Poto ...

It originated in the 16th century as a well-fortified noble residence on the bank of the Zolota Lypa River. The castle's early owners included Mikolaj Świnka and Jan Sienieński. The estate suffered badly at the hands of the Cossacks and Ottoman Empire, Turks (1675, 1684) but Jan III Sobieski invested in the restoration in order to make Pomorzany one of his country residences.
