General information about Kosivshchyna

The village of Kosivshchyna is located on the right bank of the Sumka River at its confluence with the Suhonosivka River, 5 kilometers west of Sumy.

It was first mentioned in 1778 as the village of Kosivshchyna. In 1889, the poetess Lesya Ukrayinka visited the folk healer Paraska Bohush here for treatment. The house in which she lived has not been preserved, but a street, a park and a school, in which a folk museum has been opened, are named after the poetess.

A bust of Lesya Ukrayinka has been installed in the center of the village.
