The idea of creating a clan crypt with a chapel in Gomel belonged to the son of Field Marshal I.F. Paskevich Fedor Ivanovich, who owned the Gomel estate from 1856 to 1903. His special attitude towards the city is evidenced not only by his desire to arrange a burial chapel here, but also by many facts related to charity work, as a result of which in 1888 he became an Honorary Citizen Gomel city. The prince drew the most prominent masters of his time to draft the chapel-tomb, its construction and decoration. Artists working here related to the design of Vladimir Cathedral in Kiev and the Church of the Resurrection of Christ (Savior on Spilled Blood) in St. Petersburg, with which the Paskevich tomb chapel can easily be compared with their decorative and stylistic features. The chapel-tomb of the Paskevich family was built in the form of a two-part architectural complex, the ground part of which includes a chapel - a square brick plan 18 m high, covered with a high octagonal tent with an onion dome. Similar heads crown the corners of the main volume. The burial vault (tomb) is decorated with a small ground volume-entrance, from where a staircase leads into an underground vaulted tunnel 32 m long. The walls and arches of the tomb are decorated with chipped stone covered with glaze, the end wall with a mosaic panel and marble carvings. Fancy-shaped ceramic columns, sculptural kokoshniks, rosettes, cornice belts, gilded domes and polychrome majolica tiles with floral ornaments were used in the decoration of the building.
