The
Palace of Ch. Frenkel
The palace was constructed
in 1908. It is assumed that the palace was designed by Ch.Frenkel’s son
Jacob. The palace is a characteristic monument of modern architecture. In
this building the family of Chaim Frenkel, later – his son Jacob
– had
resided. From 1920 to 1940 a private Jew college operated in the palace.
During the WWII, a German military hospital was established in the
building. A great while after that, a Soviet military hospital has been
operating here.
In 1994, the palace building was transferred to ‘Ausra’ (‘Dawn’)
Museum.
