Princess Varvara Holitsyna Estate
Palace / manor
Remains of manor buildings and a large 18th-century park near the former estate of Princess Varvara Holitsyna, wife of Prince Serhiy Holitsyn.
The princely couple settled in Kozatske in 1797. The personal secretary and teacher of the prince's children was the biker Ivan Krylov for 4 years. Here he wrote the play "Triumph or Pinch", the comedy "Pie", the fable "The Pig under the Oak".
In the center of the estate was a palace in the pseudo-Gothic style - with towers, galleries and halls. The luxurious landscaped park had a pond with a mounded island, waterfalls, gazebos and a family mausoleum. Only the Governor's House, in which Krylov's "Pydshchypa" was placed, the ruins of the wing, as well as several buildings of the end of the 19th century, which were erected by the next owners of the manor - Kyiv Governor Ivan Fundukley, Baroness Vranhel, and Princes Kurakin, have survived.
Currently, these premises are occupied by Vocational Training School No. 37, the building is in a state of disrepair. One of the buildings houses the church of Saint Barbara.
