Antoniny, with the residence build up in the second half of the eighteenth century and expanded in the nineteenth/early twentieth century, was the main seat of the Volyn estate of Sanguszko and Potocki family. Brought to its flourish before the First World War by Józef Mikołaj Potocki, after the revolution of 1917 and the Treaty of Riga of 1921, remained within the borders of Soviet Russia. Started with the burning of the palace in 1919, the destruction of the urban and park layout in Antoniny continued. It was a result of the nationalization of the property transformed into a “model” farm on the rights of a state reserve. The property was divided into small collective farms and state-owned enterprises. Despite the post-revolution neglect and destruction, the scale of investments made by the Potocki family in Antoniny is clear and visible to this day.It still remains a testimony to the former power and the presence of Polish and European culture in the former borderlands of the First Polish Republic. While researching Antoniny from the 90s of the 20th century, the author of the text and her husband contributed to their commemoration by establishing the Potocki Museum in Antoniny in 1918.
