It is situated in the central part of the Old town, opposite the elevation of
Roman-Catholic Petropavlivs'kyi Cathedral. It was built as a palace in 1627

outward appearance was changed, its original architectural style was lost.
In the ХVII - ХVIII centuries, the Podillian bishops lived in the house, which
periodically gave some rooms to an elementary Polish school. In 1793, the house

the Polish rebellion in 1830-1831 it was closed. In the 30's - 60's of the XIX
century, the house belonged to Каmyanets' men's gymnasia (classes were used,

was in the house.

Polish poet and revolutionist, studied there (1802 - 1834). He wrote the poems

"Na smert' Pestelia, Muravyova i drugih muchenikov zа rossiyskuyu svobodu"("To
Death of Pestel', Muravyov and Other Martyrs for Russian Freedom") (1826).
He was a member of November rebellion of 1830 in Warsaw. In 1896 - 1898, in
the city college Mykola Gryhorovych Kozyts'kyi studied there (1880 - 1920),
he was an agent of Lenin's "Iskra"("Spark") (1903), one
