The Potocki Palace in Lviv (Polish pronunciation: [pɔˈtɔt͡skʲi], Ukrainian: Палац Потоцьких, Palats Pototskykh; Polish: Pałac Potockich) was built in the 1880s as an urban seat of Alfred Józef Potocki, former Minister-President of Austria. No cost was spared to make it the grandest nobleman's residence in the city. It is located on the Kopernyka street, 15.
At the start of the 20th century, the parkland gave way to a network of apartment buildings. It was confiscated by the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1940.[1] The palace itself was adapted for holding wedding ceremonies in 1972 and subsequently underwent restoration.
In the 2000s, the President of Ukraine appropriated the palace as one of his residences. Some of its architectural motifs were borrowed by the next-door exhibition hall (inaugurated in 1996).
The matches of the Women's World Chess Championship 2016 were played in the palace.[2]
Today, it hosts a branch of the Lviv National Art Gallery.[3]
