The Manuc-Bey Palace is a building constructed in 1817 by architect Bernardaczi on the order of Manuc-bey Mirzoian - an Armenian by origin, Turkish diplomat and Russian spy at the same time, however, he did not have time to enjoy the luxury of the palace, as he died on July 20, 1817. Description This structure is located in the city of Hîncești, in the central part of Moldova. It is part of the Manuc-Bey Estate, which, in addition to the Manuc-Bey Palace, also includes the Hunting Castle, Library, and servant quarters. The palace is situated in the southern part of the city and is located on the northern slope of a hill, on the edge of the park. From the main entrance at the foot of the hill, an alley leads through the park to the palace. Due to the slope of the terrain, from the top of the hill only two floors are visible, and from the foot of the hill - three. The palace is made in the spirit of French classicism, with wide window openings and loggias. On the terrace, in the thickness of the walls, niches decorated with beautiful frescoes were hollowed out, where statues were placed. The estate was surrounded by fortress walls.
