General information about Voronovytsia

The town Voronovytsia on the Zhvan River is located 20 kilometers southeast of Vinnytsia, on the highway towards Nemyriv and Uman. Administratively, it is part of the Vinnytsia district of the Vinnytsia region.

The founders of the village are considered to be representatives of the ancient Ukrainian Voronovych family, among whom were the first starosts of Vinnytsia. Voronovytsia is first mentioned in 1391 as the property of Ivan V ...

In 1748, according to the royal decree, Voronovytsia received Magdeburg law. Around this time, it passed into the ownership of the Polish magnate, Bratslav judge, Colonel Michał Grocholski. The wooden Saint Michael's Church from 1752 has survived, as well as two later churches: the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin (1777) and the Church of the Archangel Michael (1793).

In 1770-1777, Franciszek Ksawery Grocholski built a large palace in the style of early classicism on the site of the old manor house. In 1869, the Voronivtsy estate was bought by Captain 2nd Rank Mykola Mozhaisky. His brother Oleksandr Mozhaisky, also a naval officer and a participant in the circumnavigation of the world on the frigate "Diana", later constructed models of aircraft here. According to one version, he is considered the inventor of the world's first airplane, which took to the air in 1882.

During World War II, the German analytical and intelligence department of the General Staff of the Land Forces "Foreign Armies of the East" under the command of Reinhard Gehlen was located in Voronovytsia.

Велике селище Вороновиця над річкою Жван розташоване за 20 кілометрів на південний схід від Вінниці, на трасі у бік Немирова та Умані. Адміністративно входить до складу Вінницького району Вінницької області.

Засновниками селища вважаються представники стародавнього українського роду Вороновичів, серед яких були перші старости Вінниці. Вперше Вороновиця згадується у 1391 році як власність Івана Вороновича, потім Михайла Ласко, Март ...

1748 року, згідно з королівським декретом, Вороновиця отримала Магдебурзьке право. Приблизно у цей час вона перейшла у власність польського магната, брацлавського судді, полковника Михайла Грохольського. З 1752 року збереглася дерев'яна Михайлівська церква, а також два пізніших храми: церква Різдва Богородиці (1777 рік) і костел Архангела Михайла (1793 рік).

У 1770-1777 роках Франциск Ксаверій Грохольський збудував на місці старої панської садиби великий палац у стилі раннього класицизму. 1869 року воронівицький маєток купив капітан II рангу Микола Можайський. Його брат Олександр Можайський, також морський офіцер та учасник навколосвітнього походу на фрегаті "Діана", згодом конструював тут моделі літальних апаратів. За однією з версій він вважається винахідником першого у світі літака, який піднявся у повітря 1882 року.

Під час Другої світової війни у Вороновиці розташовувався німецький аналітично-розвідувальний відділ генштабу сухопутних військ "Іноземні Армії Сходу" під командуванням Рейнхарда Гелена.

Grokholsky-Mozhaysky Palace (History of Aviation and Cosmonautics Museum)

Palace / manor

The palace in the style of early classicism was built in Voronovytsia by the Polish tycoon Frantsysk Ksaveriy Grokholsky.

Construction lasted from 1770 to 1777. Architectural techniques are characteristic of the Italian school of architecture of the Palladio era. Perhaps the project was developed by the royal architect Domenico Merlini.

The main volume of the three-story palace with a portico and a pediment is complemented by side galleries that end in pavilions. The facade is decorated with stucco: wreaths, plant garlands and cow skulls (to ward off the evil eye). There are 43 rooms in the palace. The grand Oval and Round halls on the 2nd floor, where the decor has been preserved, are characterized by the richest decoration.

The palace is surrounded by a French-style park. A round water tower in the Romanesque style has been preserved in the park.

According to one version, in the middle of the 19th century, the estate belonged to Princess Karolina Sayn-Vithenshteyn, who in 1847 was a guest of the Hungarian composer Ferents List for several months, writing the piano cycle "Glanes de Voronovytsia" ("Ears gathered after the harvest in Voronovytsia"). which was based on melodies heard by List in Ukraine (according to another version, Vithenshteyn's estate was in Voronivtsi, Khmelnytskyi region).

In 1869, the manor was bought by captain II rank Mykola Mozhaysky (according to another version, he won at cards). His brother, Rear Admiral Oleksandr Mozhaysky, who lived here from 1869 to 1876, conducted research and experiments in the field of aeronautics. Here he made the first glider model, which was successfully tested in the nearby village of Potush. In 1882, in St. Petersburg, an airplane designed by Mozhaysky with steam engines became the world's first heavier-than-air aircraft to lift off the ground, but was damaged during tests.

In 1971, the Museum of the History of Aviation and Cosmonautics was opened in the premises of the palace, where the school was then located. Documents, photographs, books, personal belongings, drawings of Oleksandr Mozhaysky, a mock-up of an airplane of his design, as well as models of domestically produced airplanes, modern flight equipment form the basis of the exposition.

In one of the premises, a room-museum of the kobzar Volodymyr Perepelyuk has also been opened.
