The Khreptovich Palace on Zamkovaya was built in the first half of the XVIII century using the previous buildings of this site. In the period of the 80s and 90s of the XVIII century, the building was apparently reconstructed.
In terms of style, the structure corresponds to early classicism. The building has Doric pilasters, between which there is a passage to the courtyard of the palace.
On the main facade, crowned with a triangular pediment, stands out a spectacular stucco garland and the coat of arms of Grodno. The stucco between the frieze triglyphs refers to the period of reconstruction of the palace in the second half of the XVIII century. These so-called metope reliefs are very similar to those on the Tizengauz Palace in Vilnius. In the Grodno set of reliefs, one can distinguish a particularly interesting sign with wings and lightning bolts. It comes from the images on the shields of ancient Roman legionaries.
Based on the stylistic analysis, an assumption was made about the authorship of the Grodno Khreptovich Palace. It is assumed that the architect of the building could be Martin Knackfus (Marcin Knackfus), who is considered the author of the reconstruction of the Tizengauz Palace in Vilnius. This architect was one of the greatest masters of classicism in Incl. It was Knakfus' creativity that determined, to a large extent, the direction of the development of classical architecture throughout the region.
It would be logical to assume the participation of the Giuseppe de Sacco artel in the construction of the Grodno Hreptovich Palace, which, in theory, could carry out Knakfus projects, making some adjustments.
Interestingly, the Grodno Khraptovich Palace has a double built according to the same project. This is the palace of the noble family of the Yundzills associated with Grodno, built in Murovana (Murovana Berestovitsa).
After the Khreptovichi, the mansion belonged to other noble gentry.
In the premises of the residence there is a unique Museum of the History of Religion, the funds of which contain many valuable sacred objects.
