History

Artemy Tereshchenko, a sugar baron of the wealthy Tereshchenko family of entrepreneurs, bought Andrusivka together with its sugar factory and palace from Stanisław Bierzyński. Tereshchenko rebuilt the original brick palace to the style of French neo-renaissance. It is a brick palace set in a park, built in the style of French Renaissance Revival architecture.[1]

On 25 January 1919 the Volyn Revolutionary Committee was organized there, and in June 1920 the headquarters of the 1st Cavalry Army or Semyon Budyonny were housed.[1]

It was renovated and extended in 1975 and a second floor built over the greenhouse, which was between the palace proper and the utility building.[1] The interior has the original marble stairs, and the remains of the ancient Greek style ornament on the wall.[1] There is also a preserved old desk used by Tereshchenko.[1] Near the palace there are outbuildings, stables and other buildings and to the rear of the palace is a great fountain of unknown origin.[1]
