The author focuses on the importance of the architectural heritage of small towns of Ukraine. Such towns have a significant architectural heritage, which contain historical artistic value as well as uniqueness of the landscape image. The palace of the Mars family, in the town of Sudova Vyshnia, near Horodok, Lviv Region, an architectural monument of the 18th-19th centuries, is one of the examples of such heritage. The palace building is surrounded by a large park, founded by Arnold Rering, a prominent Lviv landscape architect. Unfortunately, the park as well as the palace building itself, are currently almost destroyed. However, even in this state, this monument does not leave researchers indifferent.

The exact date of construction of the palace is unknown. It is known that it was rebuilt in the style of French classicism on the site of a former defensive castle, where a part of the defensive walls was left. The construction of the palace dates back to the late 18th - early 19th century.

During the World War I, the palace building was destroyed by fire. The palace was rebuilt only in 1920 and acquired a different, simpler form, and there was a partial planning of the building. The interior decoration also changed.

The palace was surrounded by a magnificent park of landscape type. In the western part of the park, there was a chapel vault, built in the middle of the 19th century in the neo-Gothic style. Both daughters of one of the owners of Sudova Vyshnia, Antoni Komarovsky, found the final resting place here.

The palace and the park create a single composition and are one of the best examples of palace buildings in Lviv region, built in the style of French classicism. It requires swift actions to preserve and restore the architectural heritage of Ukraine.
