General information about Lyfyne

The village Lyfyne is located in a hilly area near the sources of the Vorozhba River, 30 kilometers southwest of Sumy. Administratively, it is part of the Vorozhba hromada of the Sumy district of the Sumy region.

The village was first mentioned in official documents in 1778 as the Lifovshchyna (Lifovskyi) farm, which belonged to the Alfiorov estate. In the first half of the 19th century, the farm became the property of the Khrushchov landowners.

On the hill above the village pond, a complex of buildings of the manor house built by Dmitry Khrushchov, the Lebedyn district leader of the nobility, has still been preserved. In the summer of 1859, the poet Taras Shevchenko visited him for four days.

At the end of the 19th century, the manor house was rebuilt in the Neo-Renaissance style. During Soviet times, it housed one of the first communes in the Sumy region. The buildings are now in a dilapidated state.

Cело Лифине розташоване у горбистій місцевості біля витоків річки Ворожба за 30 кілометрів на південний захід від Сум. Адміністративно входить до складу Ворожбянської громади Сумського району Сумської області.

В офіційних документах село вперше згадується у 1778 році як хутір Ліфовщіна (Ліфовський), що належав осавулу Алфьорову. У першій половині XIX століття хутір перейшов у власність поміщиків Хрущових.

На пагорбі над сільським ставком досі зберігся комплекс будівель панської садиби, збудованої Дмитром Хрущовим, лебединським повітовим предводителем дворянства. Вліткув 1859 року в нього протягом чотирьох днів гостював поет Тарас Шевченко.

Наприкінці XIX століття садиба була перебудована у стилі неоренесансу. За радянських часів у ній розмістилася одна з найперших на Сумщині комун. Зараз будівлі перебувають у занедбаному стані.

Khrushchov Estate

Palace / manor , Architecture

The estate house in Lyfyne was founded in the first half of the 19th century by the Khrushchov family of landowners. It is located in a park on a hill above a pond on the Vorozhba River. It is famous for the stay here of the outstanding Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko.

Initially, the complex consisted of a wooden manor house and one outbuilding in the form of a typical Slobozhanshchyna hut in two halves. Nearby was a farmyard with wooden services, barns, stables, etc. An alley led through the garden to a wooden bridge over the pond.

In the summer of 1859, the then owner of the estate, Dmytro Khrushchov, hosted Taras Shevchenko for four days, whom he had met the day before in St. Petersburg. The poet lived in an outbuilding that has not survived to this day. Here he wrote the poem "Oh, the rose blooms on the mountain". The centuries-old Shevchenko pine tree also reminds of the poet's stay.

In 1880-1893, the estate was rebuilt and significantly expanded. The main house was bricked and decorated in the French Neo-Renaissance style. The wooden manor house was also bricked, and another outbuilding was built to the south of it. In the northwestern corner of the front yard on the edge of the hill, a wine warehouse was built, resembling a medieval castle.

Despite the fact that the Khrushchov estate is included in the State Register of Immovable Monuments of Ukraine in the category of local importance, the buildings are in poor condition and remain abandoned. In addition, in 2025, the main building was severely damaged by a Russian drone strike - a fire completely destroyed the roof and all wooden architectural elements.
