The Razumovski Palace is in Baturyn, in Chernihiv Oblast, Ukraine. The Scottish-born architect Charles Cameron designed it, and it is described as his only architectural masterpiece in Ukraine. Hetman Kyrylo Rozumovskyi conceived the palace and park ensemble, which was built from 1799 to 1803 in the Neoclassical style.
The palace has three stories and covers 2,483 square meters. A fire in 1824 destroyed most of the interiors, and later fires, wartime damage and neglect followed. The park was destroyed in the middle of the 20th century, and the outbuildings were dismantled, but the palace survived.
Restoration took place from 2003 to 2008, and it opened to visitors on August 22, 2009. It now operates as a museum in the Hetman's Capital reserve.
