Місто Нікополь - річковий порт на правому березі Каховського водосховища. Виникло в XVI столітті на місці козацької переправи Микитин Ріг.

У 1636 році заснована козацька Січ, яку умовно називали Микитинською. Тут в 1648 році Богдана Хмельницького було обрано гетьманом України (встановлено пам'ятник). В 1775 році на місці зруйнованої Петром I Січі почалося будівництво нової фортеці та порту Слов'янськ, перейменованого в 1782 році на Нікополь (місто перемоги).

Бурхливий розвиток почався після побудови в XIX столітті чавуно-ливарного заводу та введення в екусплуатаціі залізниці. Зараз це великий індустріальний центр.

З архітектурних пам'яток збереглася тільки Церква Різдва в стилі класицизму з розписами XIX-XX століть.

Nikopol Museum of Local Lore

Museum / gallery

The Nikopol Museum of Local Lore was established in 1919 as the Museum of Fine Arts on the basis of an art collection requisitioned from the local landowner Nechayev.

Initially, the museum was located in a historic house of the early twentieth century, but now this architectural monument has been in disrepair for a long time, so the exposition is located in a temporary building in the center of Nikopol.

The most valuable part of the collection was lost during World War II.

Now the museum's funds include more than 45 thousand exhibits that tell about the nature and history of the region from ancient times to the present.

The exposition of the department of nature and ecology introduces the characteristics of the geographical position of the region, its flora and fauna, minerals, paleontology, environmental ecology.

The exposition of the departments of archeology and ancient history and the Zaporizhzhia Cossacks and modern history has three sections: "Archaeological monuments of the region", "Zaporizhzhia Sich and Zaporizhzhia Cossacks on the territory of the region", "Our region under the rule of the Russian Empire".

The exposition of the Department of Contemporary and Contemporary History consists of two stationary exhibitions: "Ukraine. The Path to Independence" and "Our Land during the Second World War".

The Department of Arts organizes and exhibits temporary and permanent art and ethnographic exhibitions. The museum also regularly hosts lectures, master classes, and thematic events.

Transfiguration Cathedral

Temple , Architecture

The Transfiguration Cathedral in Nikopol was built at the end of the 19th century as a home temple for brick factory workers.

In 1937, it was closed, during the years of German-fascist occupation, it resumed work for a short time, and in 1960 it was transformed into a planetarium. The last owner of the building was a local radio station. The decor and paintings were completely destroyed, and antennas were installed instead of crosses.

From 1991 to 1993, the process of returning the temple to the Orthodox community continued. Currently, the cathedral has been restored.
