Zemska School

Architecture

The original building of the two-class Zemska school in Mokiivka was built in 1912 in the style of Ukrainian Art Nouveau, according to the project of the architect Opanas Slastion (Slaston), who at one time was also known as an artist and ethnographer.

His architectural projects were distinguished by the use of elements of traditional folk architecture. In particular, on behalf of the Lohvytsia zemstvo, he developed projects for more than 50 rural schools, the characteristic features of which were hexagonal trapezoidal window openings, multi-sloped tent roofs with cracks and colorful towers.

The Mokiivka Zemska School has been well preserved and is still used for its intended purpose - the building houses primary classes and the preschool department of the Mokiivka Gymnasium. There is also a school library and a public museum - one room with local history exhibits.
