Attractions of Yahilnytsia

The Roman Catholic Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in Yahilnytsia by the Polish magnates Lyantskoronsky.

The stone building in the Baroque style was erected in the 19th century on the site of the first wooden church, founded in 1478. The facade is decorated with the coat of arms of the Lyantskoronsky family.

In Soviet times, a gym was located here, then a warehouse.

In 1992, with the assistance of the Karolina Lyantskoronska Foundation, the church was revived.

The Greek Catholic Church of the Ascension of Jesus Christ was built in Yahilnytsia in 1842.

Part of the funds was allocated by the tycoon family of Lyantskoronsky.

The cruciform church is designed in the Byzantine style.

One of the most powerful castles in Podillya was built in Yahilnytsia in 1630 by Crown Hetman Stanislav Lyantskoronskyi.

In 1655, he withstood the siege of the Cossack troops of Bohdan Khmelnytskyi, and only later as a result of betrayal was captured by the Cossacks of Buturlin.

After the signing of the Buchach Peace Treaty, when Yahilnytsia, along with some other Podillya lands, went to Turkey, the castle housed the garrison of the Turkish Pasha for some time.

By the end of the 18th century, the castle lost its strategic importance. The Austrian authorities ordered to fill in the ditches and dismantle part of the fortifications, and the buildings were used as a tobacco and potash factory. The castle kept this purpose until now under the sign of the Jagelnytskyi tobacco and fermentation plant. Currently, it belongs to a private company, the plant does not work, access to the territory is closed.
