      Palace of the Potocki Family, Lviv Ukraine 
      
      The Potocki Palace was built in the 1880s as an urban seat 
      of Alfred Józef Potocki,
      
      Minister-President of Austria. No cost was spared to make it the 
      grandest nobleman's residence in the city. The French architect Louis de 
      Verny produced a French style with an open, park-like setting. In 1972 the 
      palace was adapted for holding wedding ceremonies and subsequently 
      underwent restoration. In the 2000s the
      
      President of Ukraine appropriated the palace as one of his residences.
