General information about Dunaivtsi

The ancient Podillya city of Dunaivtsi, located on the banks of the Ternavka River, is 30 kilometers northeast of Kamyanets-Podilskyi. Administratively belongs to Kamyanets-Podilskyi district. The Khmelnytskyi – Chernivtsi highway passes through it (in 2020, a new bypass road was opened for traffic).

The name may be based on the root "duna" (water), since the settlement is surrounded by numerous lakes. The first mention of the town of Dunaivtsi dates back to 1403, and in 1592 King Syhizmund III Vasa granted it Magdeburg rights. In Polish-Lithuanian times, the city belonged to the Lyantskoronsky magnates, then the Stanislavsky magnates.

In 1649, during the campaign to Zbarazh, the Crimean horde ravaged the town, almost all the inhabitants of Dunaevtsi died. In 1782, a Polish nobleman, the starost of Opinohora, Yan Krasynskyi, invited German colonists to the city and founded a cloth factory (a museum was opened in one of the premises). The Krasynskyi manor, rebuilt in later times, has survived.

In the 19th century, the people of Dunaivtsi belonged to the Polish family of Skybynevsky. On the eastern outskirts of the city there is a landscape park with ponds, which remained from the estate of Admiral Vasily Zavoyko from the 19th century - now the district hospital is located here. A bust of the composer Vladyslav Zaremba, who was born in Dunaivtsi, has been installed.

There are several hotel and restaurant complexes at the entrance to Dunaivtsi from the Khmelnytskyi side.

Старовинне подільське містечко Дунаївці, розташоване на березі річки Тернавка, знаходиться за 30 кілометрів на північний схід від Кам'янця-Подільського. Адміністративно належить до Кам'янця-Подільського району. Через нього проходить траса Хмельницький – Чернівці (у 2020 році відкрито рух новою об'їзною дорогою).

В основі назви, можливо, лежить корінь "дуна" (вода), оскільки поселення оточують численні озера. Перша згадка про місто Дунаївці датується 1403 роком, а в 1592 король Сигізмунд III Ваза надав йому Магдебурзьке право. У польсько-литовські часи місто належало магнатам Лянцкоронським, потім Станіславським.

1649 року кримська орда під час походу на Збараж спустошила містечко, майже всі жителі Дунаєвців загинули. 1782 року польський шляхтич, староста Опіногури Ян Красинський запросив до міста німецьких колоністів і заснував сукняну фабрику (в одному з приміщень відкрито музей). Збереглася садиба Красинських, перебудована за пізніших часів.

У ХІХ столітті Дунаївці належали польському роду Скибиневських. На східній околиці міста знаходиться ландшафтний парк зі ставками, що залишився від маєтку адмірала Василя Завойка ХІХ століття – тепер тут розташована районна лікарня. Встановлене погруддя композитора Владислава Заремби, який народився в Дунаївцях.

На в'їзді в Дунаївці з боку Хмельницького є кілька готельно-ресторанних комплексів.

Tourist attractions and museums of Dunaivtsi

Capuchin Monastery

Temple , Architecture

In the middle of the 18th century, the hetman of the great crown Yosyp Potoski made a proposal to found a Capuchin temple and monastery in Dunaivtsi. His father's mission was continued by his son Stanislav, who in 1751 invited the Capuchins to settle in the city. Stanislav Potoski died in 1760 before completing the construction. Since then, the monks have been forced to collect funds for the construction of the temple on their own. Only in 1790, the construction of the monastery was completed and the church was consecrated under the cover of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Stanislav.

In 1832, the tsarist government of the Russian Empire liquidated the monastery. A year later, the church was rebuilt into the Church of the Ascension of Christ, and the monastery was handed over to an Orthodox church school.

In the 1870s, during his trip to Podillia, the famous artist and writer Napoleon Orda created a sketch of the temple of that time.

In the 1990s, the church was handed over to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine and bears the name Nativity of Christ.

Old Synagogue

Temple , Architecture

Jews settled in Dunaivtsi since the days of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and were mainly engaged in trade and crafts. During the Liberation War of 1648, most of the city's Jews died.

In the 18th century, the Dunaivtsi Jewish community recovered. Textile enterprises were opened. In the 19th century, Jews received the right to tailor and shoemaking, and opened a tobacco factory.

In 1847, the community purchased land for a Jewish cemetery on the territory of the neighboring village of Sschyntsi. In 1890, there were 11 synagogues, a synagogue, and a Jewish hospital in Dunaivtsi. At that time, the Jewish population made up more than 60% of the total number of city residents. At the beginning of the 20th century, the community actively developed industry, leased iron foundries and distilleries, owned cloth factories, printing houses, pharmacies, hotels, and shops.

During the Second World War, the Jews suffered greatly. The most tragic events are related to the massacre in the Dunaivtsi Phosphorite Mine. In total, more than 12,000 Jews died in Dunaivtsi. In 1965, a monument was erected at the New York cemetery to commemorate the Holocaust in Dunaivtsi.

During the Soviet period, the Jewish quarters, which were emptied, were actively built up. The last synagogue survived, in the building of which a state institution is located these days.
