The Koenig estate was destroyed twice. The first time was during the Second World War, when Trostianets was occupied by German troops. The Nazis blew it up, but the building was rebuilt in the early 1950s. The building was damaged for the second time on 27 March 2022, when Russian troops burned this unique architectural monument of national importance while retreating from Trostianets. Direct shelling by Russian tanks and a fire in the building severely damaged the facades, destroyed the roof and ceilings, destroyed the interiors, and smashed windows.
