In the 1870s a Neo-baroque palace was built in Antoniny by Austrian architects Fellner & Helmer for the noble Sanguszko and Potocki families.[5] However, it was burned to the ground in a fire set by Bolsheviks in August 1919,[6] and only the palace service buildings remain.

In February 1930 the village was the centre of a quickly defeated anti-Soviet Union revolt.[7]
