According to legend, in 1709, after the defeat in the Battle of Poltava, the remnants of the Swedish army hid treasures somewhere near Varva.

Селище Варва на річці Варвиця розташоване в 30 кілометрах на південний схід від Прилук.

Вперше згадується як місто Варін, біля якого в 1079 році військо князя Володимира Мономаха розгромило половецьку орду. На Замковій горі збереглися залишки городища, на місці якого після монголо-татарської навали було споруджено дерев'яну козацьку фортецю.

В 1658-1659 роках, в ході російсько-польських воєн, під Варвою велися запеклі бої московського війська під командуванням воєвод Григорія Ромадановського та Олексія Трубецького та козацьких частин наказного гетьмана Івана Безпалого проти військ гетьмана Івана Виговського.

Збереглася будівля земської школи, збудованої в 1915 році за проєктом архітектора Опанаса Сластьона з використанням форм української народної архітектури.

Zemska School

Architecture

The original one-story building of the Zemska school was built in Varva in 1915 (according to other sources, in 1913) according to the project of the architect Opanas Slastion, who at the beginning of the 20th century designed a number of schools for the Lokhvytsya zemstvo, which then included the modern Varva region.

All of them were made using reinterpreted forms of Ukrainian folk architecture. The artist and ethnographer Opanas Slastion used the architectural details of a number of classic examples of Ukrainian architecture: trapezoidal window openings, box arches, multi-slope tent coverings with ledges in the form of pyramids, central turrets.

The Varva school has an uncharacteristic portico with a triangular pediment on four columns - the result of later reconstruction and expansion.

The building is still used for its intended purpose - Varva Lyceum No. 1 is located here. It is an architectural monument of local importance.
