General information about Vilshany

The village of Vilshany is located 20 km west of Kharkiv, on the road to Bohodukhiv.

It was founded in the middle of the 17th century by emigrants from the village of the same name in the Bohuslav Region, led by the centurion Semen Kovalevskyi. As the centurion center of the Kharkiv regiment, Vilshan was first mentioned in 1673, when the centurion was commanded by centurion Hryhoriy Borisov. Soon a fortress was built here (not preserved).

Saint Nicolas Church, built in 1753, has a three-story composition typical of wooden churches in Central Ukraine. The building of the Land Bank (1903), which now houses the village council, is an architectural monument.

Селище Вільшани розташоване в 20 км на захід від Харкова, по дорозі на Богодухів.

Засноване в середині XVII сторіччя переселенцями з однойменного села на Богуславщині на чолі з сотником Семеном Ковалевським. Як сотенний центр Харківського полку Вільшана вперше згадується в 1673 році, коли сотнею командував наказний сотник Григорій Борисов. Незабаром тут було споруджено фортецю (не збереглася).

Миколаївська церква, збудована в 1753 році, має типову для дерев'яних храмів Центральної України трьохприватну композицію. Пам'яткою архітектури є будівля Земельного банку (1903 рік), в якій зараз розміщується селищна рада.
