Khanenko Park

Park / garden

The landscape park of the estate of Varvara Khanenko, the wife of the famous sugar factory Bohdan Khanenko, was preserved in the village of Olenivka, which belonged to the Khanenko family at the beginning of the 20th century.

This is an arboretum with three ponds, with spruce-oak-hornbeam groves, a section of the cultural elite garden and the "Amur" spring, which was once decorated with a bronze figure of Amur. Today, only a stone catchment remains from the spring, and from the estate only the old water tower - a monument of technology of the beginning of the 20th century.

In 2017, a rosary was planted in the park in honor of Varvara Khanenko. It is planned to include the Khanenkiv park in the landscape reserve of local importance "Khanenko-Olenivka Paradise".
