In Crimea, on its southern coast, where the mountain spurs of the AI-Petri mountain dropped steeply to the sea, in the ancient village of Koreiz, is Yusupov Palace - manor Palace and Park complex-the reserve. The Palace was constructed under a talented project architect N. Krasnov. The Windows offer a stunning view of the sky, the sea and the nearby area. The main part of the decoration is modern style. Enamel white panels with shelves for bronze and porcelain tableware, graceful bentwood chairs, corner sofas with cretonne, chintz upholstery. With the exception of the master's study with massive carved wardrobe and a writing in the same table, French tapestry on the wall, chairs.

The owner had a lot of artistic tastes, especially characterized by a love of sculpture. Minerva, mounted on the landing-stage looked very much like the statue of Liberty holding a torch at the port of new York.

Koreiz in 1909 – 14 years became rich, well-maintained estate. The entrance to the Palace, and in the wings kept terracotta and marble lions that were imported from Venice. The year 1917 with its turbulent history virtually no impact on the Palace. The nationalization occurred in the 20-ies, after which he began to refer to the office of the Cheka (the all-Union extraordinary Commission) and represented the holiday Home (State dacha № 4) for its employees. The Palace was the privilege of the party elite, however, the particular owner never mentioned. In 1925 – 26 years stayed there f.E. Dzerzhinsky. In the postwar years the Palace was the summer house of the Committee of the CPSU, where the rest of the Soviet state and party leaders, and the leaders of the Communist parties abroad. Stalin had allocated this Palace, despite the fact that the South coast has a more impressive and comfortable villas. Nevertheless, there is evidence that Stalin preferred to rest here and in the postwar period.

For many years the Palace and Park complex Yusupov was protected. Admire green Paradise and relax there could not all. By order of the Cabinet of Ministers in 2002, the Yusupov mansion Palace and Park complex was transferred to the ownership of the state. Today the Palace is owned by the Ukrainian security service. Unfortunately, to this day, the Palace was opened as a Museum.
