The palace of the princes Sanhuškas was built in 1742. One of the beautiful landmarks of Hrodna.

The palace of the princes Sanhuškas was built on the site of a tavern known since the 16th century. In the first half of the 18th century, the Grand Marshal of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania Paviel Sanhuška became the owner of the square with a tavern, a stone and a wooden house on the Rynkavaja Square. In 1742, he built a palace on the site of a tavern. In 1778, all the real estate of the Sanhuškas passed into the ownership of the Hrodna headman Antoni Tyzenhaus and remained in his family until the end of the 18th century.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, the palace was rebuilt several times. The house acquired its modern look only in the middle of the 19th century.

In the 19th and early 20th century, the premises of this building were rented out for apartments. There were also various stores, warehouses, workshops, a pharmacy and a bank office here.

In the late 1920s, the building of the former palace housed a representative office of the "Singer" sewing machine company, a ready-to-wear store "Modern", a silk fabric store and haberdashery shops. From the late 1920s to the present, a barbershop has been operating in the former palace.
