Attractions of Kozova

Kozova Castle was built in the 16th century by the noble Potocki family, who owned the town of Kozova at the time. The fortifications with defensive moats, stone walls and towers were located on a raised cape at the confluence of an unnamed tributary into the Koropets River.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the castle was subjected to numerous Tatar attacks and was eventually completely destroyed. Near its remains, the new owner of Kozova, August Aleksandr Moszyński, built a palace-residence in 1755 (now it is an administrative building). And the castle ruins in the 19th century were used to build a rosolis (rose liqueur) factory of Count Henryk Szeliski. Later, a brewery operated here, then a soft drinks factory and a regular warehouse.

Now the abandoned buildings of the former Kozova Castle are taken care of by the public organization "Institute of Urban Culture". It is planned to revitalize the building and transform it into a modern multifunctional cultural center of the Kozova hromada.

The Kozova Local Lore Museum is located in the center of the village of Kozova. It is planned to move the museum's exhibits to the premises of a former synagogue, which was converted into a cinema during the Soviet era.

The museum's ethnographic collection tells the story of the life of peasants at the end of the 19th century. The exhibition features ancient embroideries, icons, household items, historical photographs, old prints, etc.
