This magnificent palace, characterized by its neoclassical design, is one of the most significant historical and cultural landmarks in the Ural region.

Constructed from 1794 to 1820, the palace was commissioned by the wealthy merchant Lev Rastorguyev and later became associated with the Kharitonov family through marriage. Despite its initial purpose as a private residence, the palace's formidable structure and ornate details reflect the influence and aspirations of Russia's merchant class during that era.

The palace's historical significance extends beyond its architecture and décor. During the Russian Civil War, it served as a headquarters for the Red Army.
