Attractions of Sydoriv

The Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Order of Dominican Observants was built by Vinnytsia's headman, Colonel Lyudvik Kalynovsky, in the late Baroque style.

The project was developed by the famous architect Yan de Vitte, commandant of the Kamyanets fortress. The plan of the temple is made in the form of the family coat of arms of the Kalynovsky family - an arrow with two stars near the forked tail. The role of stars is performed by multifaceted towers, the tip of an arrow is guessed in the altar part. The facade is crowned by a sculpture of the Virgin Mary.

Nearby is the monastery building, which, after the abolition of the Dominican monastery by the Austrian authorities in 1784, was used as a priest's house.

During Soviet times, the church was closed and abandoned, now services are sometimes held. Restoration has begun.

The castle-ship on the hill, which is washed on three sides by one of the tributaries of Zbruch, got its nickname due to its characteristic oblong shape.

Sydoriv Castle was built in the middle of the 17th century by the field hetman of the crown, Martyn Kalynovsky, as his own residence. The date of construction is recorded on a brick slab above the entrance arch. The length of the castle reached 178 meters, while the width was only 30 meters. Seven defense towers were located along the perimeter of the walls, of which only three remain. The walls of the northern edge of the well-preserved castle are joined at sharp angles, which gives the fortress the appearance of a ship floating in the sea of green.

Sydoriv Castle was badly damaged during the Turkish invasion of 1672, then it was restored, but from the beginning of the 18th century it lost its defensive significance, fell into disrepair and gradually collapsed until our time.

Access is free.

The Church of the Nativity of Holy Virgin in Sydoriv was built in 1812 after the wooden church, founded in 1784, burned down.

According to legend, during the Second World War, local residents removed the bell from the bell tower and hid the bell, which they still cannot find.

The family crypt of the Payhert barons, the last owners of Sydoriv, is located in the old village cemetery.

The Payherts owned the village until 1939. Among them is the Polish poet Yuzef Payhert , who in 1840 built a palace in Sydoriv (not preserved).

The monumental crypt-mausoleum in the style of classicism impresses with its enormous size.
