Hunting Lodge and summer residence of count Nikolai Petrovich Rumyantsev. The house was built in 1820 by the architect Ivan Petrovich Dyachkova. Interestingly, Rumyantsev himself never hunting was not interested and it is not known why the house was given this name.

In Gomel for this house stuck another name "House of the Empire." The name is erroneous. The house is built in the classical style. The main facade is decorated in the Doric style with a six-columned portico and outdoor terrace. The building is rectangular in plan, single-storey, with hipped roof. In the yard of a hunting Lodge of the bronze bust of Alexander Pushkin.

After the death of Rumyantsev, the house was inherited by the family of the nobility Krushevsky. It happened in the second half of the nineteenth century. Krushevsky lived in a Hunting Lodge until 1917. After the revolution it was the seat of the Extraordinary Commission and worked as the city's first radio station.

In 1997, it underwent a thorough restoration of a Hunting Lodge. It opened an exhibition of antique and vintage items of the first owner of count Rumyantsev. Hunting Lodge is part of the Gomel Palace and Park ensemble.

Ninety percent of the exhibits were donated by the residents of Gomel. Among them are antique furniture and paintings, a collection of antique clocks, glassware, vintage toys, porcelain knickknacks, and other items.
