Potocki Palace one of the most famous palaces in Lviv, built between 1880 and 1890 for Polish count Alfred II Potocki. The project was designed by French architect Louis Dauvergne, which gave the palace its elegant French Neo-Renaissance style, inspired by aristocratic residences of 19th-century France.
The Potocki family was among the wealthiest and most influential noble families in Europe, and the palace became a symbol of power, luxury, and high society life in Lviv. Inside, it featured richly decorated halls with stucco, marble, gilded details, and large crystal chandeliers. The palace hosted balls, official receptions, and gatherings of the aristocracy.
After World War II, the building was nationalized. Over time, it served various state purposes, and today it is part of the Lviv National Art Gallery and functions as a museum open to visitors.
The palace is located at 15 Copernicus Street in Lviv, Ukraine, and is considered one of the most beautiful architectural landmarks of the city.
Hello, my name is Aurevians.
This was my first major project of creating a palace, an attempt to recreate a real-life structure, but unfortunately I wasn’t able to bring it exactly to perfection. From my side, there was also a lot of improvisation.
Probably the most difficult part was recreating the entrance courtyard, since in The Sims there are unfortunately no oval stairs or smooth curved shapes that would allow me to create a proper carriage entrance under the main door. The back side was also challenging, but I managed to handle it.
As for the interior, it was mostly improvisation, and I designed the rooms according to my own taste. Of course, there are a few original rooms, but for now the interior of the palace is not fully complete. Still, I am sharing screenshots with you and showing how a story is beginning to form in my Sims universe.
