Attractions of Strusiv

The Palace of the Golukhovskys in Strusiv is located on a cape formed by a loop of the Seret River.

It was built at the end of the 18th century by the Lyantskoronsky nobles, who decided to dismantle the old, dilapidated Strusiv castle. A two-story building in the Empire style was erected from the stone obtained during the dismantling of the castle.

At the end of the 19th century, Count Yuzef Golukhovsky, the son of the Austrian Minister of Internal Affairs and Governor of Galicia Agenor Golukhovsky, reconstructed the palace. The interiors were decorated with stucco and carved wood, crystal chandeliers and two-meter candelabra (fragments of the decor have been preserved).

The palace is surrounded by a balustrade, the central portal has 6 columns, the park facade is decorated with monumental stairs. A beautiful park descends from them to the banks of the Seret River, where a 250-year-old black Austrian pine grows, a natural monument of state importance.

Currently, the Strusiv boarding school for children with diseases of the cardiovascular system is located on the territory of the manor.

The old Polish cemetery is located on a hill at the entrance to the village of Strusiv from the side of the city of Buchach.

Grave monuments borrowed from the city memorial sculpture typical of the 20s and 30s of the 20th century have been preserved in the village cemetery. The figures of saints, angels, maidens and other symbolic characters with simple, rough faces are made of sandstone and concrete, all things considered, by local self-taught craftsmen.

The mountain offers a beautiful view of Strusiv and its surroundings.

The Catholic Church of Saint Anthony' and Our Lady of the Holy Rosary in Strusiv was built in 1894 at the expense of Yuzef Holukhovsky, the owner of Strusiv at that time.

In 1902, this temple was consecrated under the title of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary. Construction was conducted under the leadership of Jan Lesyk and was completed in 1903. In 1945-1990, the shrine was used as a granary.

A beautiful neo-Gothic building stretches to the sky with a high tower, which is crowned with a cross. There are two smaller towers on its sides. On both sides of the main entrance to the church there is a beautiful window in the shape of a rose. Gothic windows, tall and beautiful, decorate the building. In the highest tower of the temple there are a large and a small bell.

The ornate facade of the church is decorated with pointed conical tops rising with thin crosses, as well as a three-tiered tower in which the central entrance to the church is located in the form of an arch. Today, the church is in good condition and is an active temple.

The Church of Saint Nicholas of the Basilian Monastery in Strusiv was built in the 17th century over an earlier cave temple.

In the 16th century, the castle of the Strusiv nobles stood on this well-protected place on the mountain slope in the Chortova Debrya tract. In the 19th century, the remains of the castle were dismantled, but the ramparts can still be traced. Next to the castle, the Basilian fathers founded a cave monastery in the 16th century, carving a cave temple with an altar in the rock. There were cave cells for monks.

Built in 1770, the Basilian Church of Saint Nicholas was transformed into the Latin Church of Saint Stanislaus in 1788, then it was abandoned for a long time. Currently restored, it belongs to the Greek-Catholic community of Strusiv

From here you can enjoy a wonderful panorama of the village with its architectural landmarks: the neo-Gothic church of Saint Anthony (1903) and the modern Greek Catholic church.

The Greek Catholic Church of Saint Nicholas in Strusiv was built in 1930 on the site of an old wooden church.

A bell tower in the form of a rotunda was built nearby.

An architectural monument of local importance.

The synagogue in Strusiv was built in the 19th century. It is located near the castle.

The building of the Jewish prayer house has quite large dimensions, which indicates the size of the Jewish community at that time. It has two floors and arched windows. To the right of the main entrance to the synagogue, the remains of the annex for women's prayers, which was dismantled during Soviet times, have been preserved. The same external extension was on the left - for men.

The main entrance is decorated with a white stone portal. There is a plaque with an inscription in Hebrew. The north-western corner of the temple has a rounded shape, and the south and south-eastern corners are made in the form of columns decorated with white stone.

Now it is used as a utility room, but it is gradually falling into disrepair. An architectural monument of local importance.
