Now it is the Institute of Applied Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine The architectural ensemble of three brick buildings was erected in 1895 at the expense of Mykola Sukhanov. An "English" garden-park with a wooden gazebo and a flower garden was laid during the construction. This small palace was built as a private family estate. During the Civil War, part of the collection of Kyiv industrialist Oscar Hansen was kept here – porcelain tableware and paintings. After the establishment of Soviet rule, the estate with the art gallery was twice nationalized and twice returned to the owners of the estate: the first time by the Central Rada in 1918, and the second time by the Denikins in 1919. Now in the premises of this complex is the Institute of Applied Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

The octagonal open wooden gazebo with a diameter of 6 meters and a height of 10 meters was built on a high brick plinth in 1900-1901. The gazebo was built at the expense of the merchant Ivan Leshchinsky according to the project of the architect Matviy Shchavelyov. The building is decorated with columns, carved cornices and roof spiers. Outwardly, it resembles an unusual openwork building. The ornament of the Altanka contains coded symbols of Trypillia culture, pagan symbols of the sun and procreation. At the same time, the symbols of Christianity and Judaism are intertwined with them. During the revolution of 1905-1907, the Altanka was set on fire several times, and in 1913 it was rebuilt. The Altanka became a symbol of the city after the liberation of Sumy in September 1943, thanks to a photo by a front-line photojournalist. Today, the gazebo is an integral part of the image of Sumy and the city's business card.
