The first mention of the Tartakov settlement dates back to 1426. The owners of Tartakov for a long time were the Polish magnates Potocki. In the 17th century, Kazimir Potocki made Tartakov his main residence. He built a defensive castle here, on the ruins of which, in the second half of the 19th century, his descendants built their palace. The two-storey main building of the estate was built in the French Neo-Baroque style. During the construction of the southwestern walls of the palace, fragments of the buildings of the old castle were partially used. The history of this palace is notable for the fact that in 1840 it was visited by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, better known as the founder of masochism. In his diary, he described the grandeur and beauty of the Potocki family nest, and also mentioned the ghost of an old Polish gentry, allegedly living within the walls of this palace. You can read excerpts from this diary HERE (text in Ukrainian) During the Soviet era, a school was located in the palace, thanks to which the building was saved. Even the Potocki family coat of arms has been preserved on the pediment of the palace. Unfortunately, in the mid-90s, a fire broke out in the building, which almost completely destroyed the internal walls and ceilings. Since then, the palace has been abandoned and gradually destroyed.
