The house of the regimental office is the administrative building of the office of the Cossack regiments, which was built at the end of the 17th century. In 1698 the house belonged to Hetman Ivan Mazepa. This is a one-story rectangular brick building, white in color, its decor is distinguished by the severity of lines, which is typical for the Ukrainian baroque style. The house was divided into two parts: the female and male half. At the end of the 19th century, additional windows were pierced for convenience. The house of the regimental office is part of the complex of the National Architectural and Historical Reserve "Ancient Chernihiv".

Mazepa's house

The building of the regimental chancellery was damaged during the fires of 1718 and 1750. In the second half of the eighteenth century. a vestibule with a figured pediment was added to the northern faç ade and another small vestibule was arranged - the entrance to the basement outside.

The house was restored in 1954 and 1969.→
