Yusupov Palace (Crimea)

The Yusupov Palace in Crimea, also known as the Koreiz Palace, is a palace located in the town of Koreiz, near Yalta, in Crimea. Constructed in the late 19th century, the palace was commissioned by Prince Felix Yusupov Sr., and was designed in a Neo-Renaissance style with elements of Moorish architecture.

The palace's architectural design is attributed to Nikolai Krasnov, who also designed the Livadia Palace. The surrounding park, designed by German landscape architect Karl Kebach, is a significant feature, showcasing a diverse collection of plants and sculptures.

Historically, the Yusupov Palace served as a residence for the Yusupov family until the Russian Revolution. After the revolution, it was nationalized and used as a state dacha. It is perhaps best known for being the site of the Potsdam Conference in 1945, where Joseph Stalin resided during the summit meetings with Winston Churchill and Harry S. Truman.

The palace and its grounds have undergone various restorations throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Today, the Yusupov Palace functions as a hotel and sanatorium, and is open for tours, providing visitors with a glimpse into its opulent past and historical significance. The palace's interior retains many original features, including ornate ceilings, antique furniture, and artwork.
