Wyoming, a volunteer in Lugansk, did some research today and found some great information. This country house was built by a commander. He sold the house shortly after completion. It was since changed hands many times and changed names. The Germans had possession of the estate during World War I and until 2006 it was a hospital for TB patients.
When the hospital was closed and cleaned out, the plaster on the walls were scraped off due to possible contamination of TB into the walls. You will notice even the ceiling was scraped.
You can see some of the stages of restoration. Amazing!!!
Update on Sept 7: I heard yesterday that the house is for sale 20M UAH or about 2.5M USD. I called a friend to tell him about it and he had heard it is on leased land and the house does not have an owner. Slowly but surely I will get the story...

LOVE this house! It's amazing though. To me it doesn't fit in my images of Ukraine. I imagine it somewhere more like England, in some Jane Austen movie :)
