Saint Dorothy Church
Temple , Architecture
The Saint Dorothy Roman Catholic Church in the city of Slavuta was built in 1825. It is considered an exact copy of the Parisian Church of St. Eustace.
The temple was built as a family tomb of the Sanguszko princes, who had a residence in Slavuta. The foundation was laid in 1822 by Eustachius Sanguszko, and the construction was completed by Roman Sanguszko. The construction work was supervised by the Slavuta architect Brunak. In 1848, the church became a parish church.
In 1946, the church was closed by the communist authorities and converted into a salt warehouse. Only in 1990 was it returned to the Catholic community of Slavuta and restored.
The Saint Dorothy Church is located in the territory of the Slavuta city park, laid in the 18th century by the famous park architect Dionysius Mikler. Here was located the Sanguszko Castle, of which only some outbuildings remain.
Shopping Arcades (Old Market Underground)
Architecture , Museum / gallery
A complex of Shopping Arcades with a stone town hall building was built in Slavuta at the end of the 18th century. It was located in the center of the then market square (now Taras Shevchenko Square) and had the shape of an elongated horseshoe.
Nowadays, the market square is built up, but the Shopping Arcades and town hall have survived, albeit in a severely distorted form. Despite the status of a cultural heritage monument of national importance, the complex was partially rebuilt and is still used as a warehouse for a trade organization.
Next to the remains of the Shopping Arcades, a miniature bronze copy of their work by sculptor Kostyantyn Saposhka is installed, who recreated the building in its original form.
In the basements of the Shopping Arcades, the "Dungeons of the Old Market" exhibition opened in 2025, which became a department of the Slavuta Historical Museum. Visitors can see stylized shops filled with goods, archival photos, documents, and other museum items. Multimedia technologies help to feel the atmosphere of ancient times.
