Kivshovata

The village of Kivshovata is located 15 kilometers southeast of Tarashcha.

It has been known since the 17th century as the town of Koshavate, probably from the word "kish" (a Cossack estate that has a military administration body). According to legend, the town was founded by Sich Cossacks who escaped after defeat in one of the battles with the Polish army.

There was also a castle in Kivshovata, which is depicted on the historical coat of arms of the settlement. From the end of the 17th century, it belonged to the Polish magnates Mlodecki. In 1702-1703, the castle was destroyed by the rebels led by Semen Paliy, and the Counts of Mlodecki later built a new manor in its place.
