Ruzhany Palace

Ruzhany Palace is a ruined palace compound in Ruzhany village, Pruzhany Raion , Brest Voblast , Western Belarus. Between the 16th and 19th centuries Ruzhany, then called Różany, was the main seat of the senior line of the Sapieha noble family, known as the Sapiehas of Ruzhany. The castle is currently under systematic reconstruction, with the palace ornate gate and entry building being already restored.

Ruzhany began its life in the late 16th century as the site of Lew Sapieha's castle, the palace being completed in 1602. The Sapieha residence was destroyed in the course of the internecine strife in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania when it was attacked by Michał Serwacy Wiśniowiecki's forces in 1700.
