General information about Torhovytsia

The ancient Pokuttian village of Torhovytsia of the Horodenka hromada (not to be confused with the village of Torhovytsia of the Otynia hromada) is located 35 kilometers east of Kolomyia, not far from Horodenka. Administratively, it is part of the Kolomyia district of the Ivano-Frankivsk region.

For the first time, Torhovytsia lands were mentioned in the deed of the Polish king Władysław II Jagiełło in 1410 (a commemorative sign was erected in honor of the village's 600th anniversary).

In 1871, Les Martovych, a Ukrainian writer, jurist and public figure, was born in Torhovytsia (the literary and memorial museum operates).

The wooden church of the Nativity of Holy Virgin in 1924 has been preserved.

Les Martovych Literary and Memorial Museum

Museum / gallery

The Torhovytsia Literary and Memorial Museum of Les Martovych was founded in 1971 on the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the birth of the satirist writer.

Oleksa Martovych was born in 1871 in the family of a village clerk in the village of Torhovytsia, near Horodenka. He went to school here. He started writing while studying at the Kolomyia Gymnasium. Together with Vasyl Stefanyk and Mark Cheremshyna, Les Martovych was a member of the so-called Pokuttya group of novelists. The high-relief "Pokuttya Trinity" greets visitors in the lobby of the museum.

During his lifetime, he published 27 short stories about peasant life, written in the Pokuttia dialect of the Ukrainian language. Lifetime editions of the writer's works are presented in the exposition.

You can also see a model of the house in which the writer was born, his portrait by the artist Mykola Varennya, some personal belongings, photos, documents. The writer's office is reproduced according to the photo.

In one of the museum halls, the interior of a peasant house of the beginning of the 20th century is recreated with authentic elements of decoration and household items. A bust of the writer is installed in front of the museum.

The Literary and Memorial Museum of Les Martovych is a branch of the Ivano-Frankivsk Local Lore Museum.
