The Palace of Hetman Kyrylo Rozumovsky is an outstanding monument of the era of classicism of national importance. It is the main decoration, visiting card and symbol of Baturyn. In Ukraine, it is the only preserved and revived Hetman’s palace. In the territory of our state, it is also the only architectural structure built according to the design of the prominent architect Charles Cameron.
In 2003-2008, under the auspices of the President of Ukraine (2005-2010) Viktor Yushchenko and with the charitable participation of Ukrainian philanthropists, the palace of Kyrylo Rozumovsky was restored. In 2009, painstaking work continued on creating a museum exhibition. On August 22, 2009, the palace of the Ukrainian hetman was solemnly opened for visitors.
On the first floor of the palace you can get acquainted with the historical past of Hetman Baturyn through the prism of the state activities of Kyrylo Rozumovsky and the history of the construction and restoration of the palace and park ensemble in Baturyn. The interiors of the second floor have been restored according to analogues of the preserved works of Charles Cameron and are luxuriously decorated with paintings of subjects of ancient Greek mythology, floral ornaments and Hetman jewels.
The presented exhibition projects in the palace reveal the life path and state-building activities of Hetman Kyrylo Rozumovsky, his family, modern descendants, the history of the palace and park ensemble, and reveal the struggle for Ukrainian independence of Pylyp and Hryhoriy Orlyk.
Today, the palace of Kyrylo Rozumovsky is one of those places that every Ukrainian should visit and return from there as a true citizen.
