Gomel Palace

The Rumyantsev-Paskevich Residence[1] (Belarusian: Палац Румянцавых — Паскевічаў; Russian: Дворец Румянцевых — Паскевичей) is the main place of historical importance in the city of Gomel, Belarus.

The two-storey palace of Field Marshal Pyotr Rumyantsev was built between 1777 and 1796[2] to a Neoclassical design attributed to Ivan Starov.

Gomel was immediately purchased by another Field Marshal, Ivan Paskevich, who had both the palace and the park substantially renovated.

He employed architect Adam Idźkowski to add a four-storey tower and a three-storey wing to the existing structure.

The Paskevich art collection also boasted several paintings by Ivan Kramskoi, Marcin Zaleski, and January Suchodolski, as well as a marble bust of Count Rumyantsev by Antonio Canova.
