The main reason you should go there is one from most well-known palaces - Vorontsov's
Palace and the beautiful park beside it. The palace was built in the middle of XIX century
by one of the richest man in Russia - Earl Vorontsov.
The palace was supposed to be a summer residence for his family as it been till the
