Attractions of Tulchyn district

The palace of the estate of Mykola Charnomskyi, the ruler of Countess Sofiya Potoska, was built at the beginning of the 19th century under the direction of the Italian architect Francesco Boffo, who was then the chief architect of Odesa.

The house was built of London white brick, had an elevator even then, and food was brought from the kitchen through underground passages. Flanked on two sides by a double colonnade, the building's appearance and layout closely resemble the White House in Washington, D.C., depicted on the $20 bill: three stories with large windows and a semicircular colonnade. The assembly hall with ceilings over 15 meters high is similar to the Oval Office. According to one version, the architect used drawings of an American mansion.

Currently, the building houses a high school.

The museum-apartment of Mykola Leontovych in Tulchyn was opened in 1977 to mark the 100th anniversary of the composer's birth.

He lived in this house from 1908 to 1921, working as a singing teacher at the diocesan women's school (now a boarding school).

The interiors of Leontovych's rooms and personal belongings have been preserved: a tuning fork, a conductor's baton, a sofa, a desk, a suitcase, a table, etc.

The wooden church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin, perched on a high mountain above the Pivdenny Buh, welcomes everyone who enters the Pechera from the Nemyriv side.

It is located on a large, strategically advantageous plateau, under which are hidden the ancient caves that gave the village its name. It was here, on the site of an ancient Rus settlement, that in the 17th century, the Moldavian lord Duka, who was appointed by the Turkish sultan as the ruler of Right Bank Ukraine, built his castle in the 17th century. After the expulsion of Duka, who was famous for cruelty, from Ukraine in 1764, the castle was dismantled into building materials, which were used to build the foundation and fence of the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin. The later belfry was probably built on the base of one of the defensive towers.

From the plateau in front of the church, a breathtaking panorama of the Pivdenny Buh valley with a cascade of rapids opens.

A luxurious park on the banks of the Pivdenny Buh, several farm buildings and a mausoleum-tomb - all that remains of the once rich estate of the Potocki-Sveykivski in Pechera.

The park was founded at the end of the 17th century by the Moldavian voivode Heorhiy Duka, who owned Right Bank Ukraine at that time. His castle was not preserved, but later the new owners, the Potocki-Sveykivski family, took up the expansion of the park and the construction of a new palace.

The original rectangular layout of the park with a majestic four-row linden alley with 250-year-old lindens leading from the main gate to the palace is almost completely preserved. The park descends in terraces to the river and the baths, it is decorated with stone chaos, grottoes and the only park sculpture that has survived.

On the reverse side of the park is a chapel-mausoleum, built in the neo-Romanesque style according to the project of the architect Vladyslav Horodetskyi in 1904 by order of Kostyantyn and Yanyna Potocki. In Soviet times, it was used as a cinema. Today it is the church of Saint Andriy.

Several farm buildings, designed at the beginning of the 20th century by Yan Hoyrikh, have also been preserved.

The Potocki Palace was dismantled in the 1920s, and the Regional Rehabilitation Hospital was built on its foundation, which is still functioning (the "Pechera" sanatorium). The possibility of creating a tourist complex on the basis of the manor is under consideration.

The Potocki Palace in Tulchyn is a beautiful architectural ensemble, one of the best examples of classicism in Ukraine.

The manor was founded in 1757 by the Kyiv voivode Frantsishek Saleziy Potocki. After his son Stanislav Szchensnyi Potocki chose Tulchyn as his main residence, in 1782 the construction of a new palace was started according to the project of the architect Zhozef Lakrua.

The palace ensemble also includes a theater, arena, and Turkish bath. Interiors were designed by designer Merks and artist Latur. The pompous two-story palace in the palladio style is connected by oval galleries-greenhouses with two large wings. Around the palace, the English gardener Miller laid out a luxurious garden with exotic trees and shrubs, a system of ponds and canals, fountains, gazebos and sculptures.

In terms of luxury, the palace competed with the royal residences of Europe. Here Stanislav Szczensnyi Potocki received the Polish king Stanislav Avhust Ponyatovsky. Perhaps it was here that the count first met his future wife Sophia, in whose honor he later built a park in Uman, and the poet Pushkin met Potocki's daughters Sofiya and Olha, to whom he dedicated "Yevheniy Onyehin" and "Bakhchysarai Fountain".

The palace is currently occupied by the Tulchyn School of Culture. The facades of the central building have been partially restored, and the side wings are being restored. The grand staircase and stoves have been preserved in the interior.

The gloomy palace-chalet surrounded by old Christmas trees on the park side resembles a haunted house.

Built in Komarhorod in the 1830s by Chetvertynsky princes. In the second half of the 19th century, the building underwent a major reconstruction, the facades were decorated with carved wood and half-timbering like Swiss hunting castles. The greenhouse, which used to be adjacent to the main facade, has not been preserved.

The park surrounding the palace was laid out at the end of the 19th century by Count Balashov. Its area is about 2.5 hectares. There are more than 100 species and forms of trees and shrubs here. In addition to valuable conifers, black and walnut, Amur velvet and a number of local breeds grow.

Currently, the Chetvertynsky Palace is one of the buildings of the Komarhorod Agrarian Lyceum, most of the premises are in poor condition.

The Catholic Church of the Holy Cross was built in Komarhorod in 1770 (according to other sources - in 1746).

The building was thoroughly rebuilt in 1878-1882, after the church was transformed into the Orthodox Church of Saint Nicholas. In this, its facades received an architectural finish, characteristic of brick architecture of the 17th century.

A school was located in the building added to the church in 1874, and in 1897 a school for girls was opened here. In the interior there is an oil wall painting of the 19th century.

The Cathedral of the Nativity of Christ in Tulchyn is located in the premises of the former church of the Dominican monastery, which was built in 1780 in the style of early classicism.

The first Catholic church appeared on this site back in 1636, but was soon destroyed. Revived at the expense of Polish tycoon Stanislav Shchensny Potocki. Here Count Pototski married the legendary Sofiya, for whom he later built the Sofiyivka park in Uman.

After 1831, the church was rebuilt in the Orthodox style.

The memorial manor-museum of People's Artist of Ukraine, Hero of Ukraine Pavlo Muravsky was opened in 2009 in his native village of Dmytrashkivka in Vinnytsia region, where he was born in 1914 and spent his childhood.

Pavlo Muravsky was an outstanding Ukrainian choral conductor and teacher, a professor at the National Music Academy of Ukraine.

The creation of the museum on the site of Muravsky's native house began during his lifetime as a national toloka. The exhibition presents materials about the life and work of the conductor, his personal belongings and a grand piano.

The "Muravsky Orchard" of traditional Podillya varieties of fruit trees has been planted nearby.

The Small (Upper) Potocki Palace in Tulchyn was built in 1775 in the style of classicism.

In 1796-1797, the pond of the Russian commander, Field Marshal Oleksandr Suvorov, was located in the palace. He wrote his famous book "The Art of Winning" at the Tulchyn headquarters. And in 1816-1818, the headquarters of the Second Russian Army was located in the Small Palace, then barracks.

Currently, the premises of the Potocki Small Palace house a veterinary college.

Local Lore museum in the village Pechera in Vinnytsia region operates at the Pechera general secondary education institution of grades I-III (secondary school).

It is located in a one-story building next to the school, in which, during the time of the Potocki family, Kapellmeister Nadvorsky, who led the local brass band, lived.

The school museum was created in 1986, many exhibits were found during the expeditions of the school archeological group. In particular, ancient things related to the history of the Potocki manor in Pechera are presented.

The memorial museum of Academician Danylo Zabolotny was founded in 1929 in his native village of Chobotarka (now Zabolotne) in Vinnytsia Region, where he was born, lived and was buried.

An outstanding microbiologist and epidemiologist, academician Danylo Zabolotny founded the world's first department of epidemiology in Odesa, as well as the Institute of Microbiology and Epidemiology in Kyiv. In his native house under a thatched roof, the original interior has been completely preserved: a cabinet with the scientist's books, a Zeissian microscope with which he traveled through the deserts of Asia, an old straw block on a hanger. An exposition with wax figures in one of the rooms reproduces the scene of Zabolotny receiving a local patient during his stay in his native village.

On the territory of the manor, a summer kitchen has been recreated and a separate exhibition house has been built, where you can see a large-scale diorama "Danylo Zabolotny on an expedition to fight the plague", which reproduces one of the episodes of the scientist's work in Manchuria. Returning from expeditions, Zabolotny always brought exotic plants with him. The Carpathian birch planted by him, an Ussuri maple and a large dogwood bush still grow in the garden near the house.

Not far from the house is the grave of Danylo Kyrylovych with a tombstone in the style of constructivism by the artist Vasyl Krychevskyi.

The manor-museum of academician Zabolotny is part of the structure of the Institute of Microbiology and Virology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

The Orthodox Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in 1789 at the expense of Stanislav Szchensny Potoski.

The building is made in the style of classicism.

A stone two-level belfry was built in the 19th century on the site of a wooden one.

The local history museum in Pishchanka was created in 1987 on the initiative of local historian Volodymyr Bershadsky.

In the main exposition, ancient household items and tools of the inhabitants of Podillya are widely presented. Ukrainian shirts of the 18th and 19th centuries are particularly proud of the collection of the Pishchanka Museum of Local Lore, where there are embroideries with elements of both Ukrainian and Moldavian traditions.

The second exposition tells about important events of the 20th century that had a significant impact on the history of the region, including the Ukrainian revolution of 1917–1921, the Holodomor of 1932–1933, the Second World War, the reconstruction of the national economy, and Ukraine's independence.
