History

The summer palace was built by Kniaz Michał Wiśniowiecki for his wife Tekla of Radziwiłł, in whose honor Chaichyntsi was called Teklopol for some time.^[1][2][3]

Description

The structure of the palace is similar to the Sanguszko Palace in Iziaslav, built in 1746–1757 by Paolo Fontana [it]. The similarity with the Iziaslav Palace lies in the massing of the building both in the front and side views. The central, highest part, framed by a magnificent order, increased the monumentality of the building. The lowest corner elements did not protrude, like the pavilion-arches in Vyshnivets, but were pressed into the higher parts of the palace.^[4] The palace was destroyed during World War I.^[5]
