Karmalyuk Caves

Natural object

The two-tiered grotto in the 18-meter rock in the park of the Orlovsky estate in Maliivtsi bears the name of the legendary folk hero Ustym Karmalyuk - Karmalyuk Caves. According to legend, Karmalyuk hid in these caves from persecution by the royal authorities.

In early Slavic times, according to scientists, there was a pagan sanctuary in the caves. Later, an Orthodox monastery was founded in its place. In 1708, the Podol judge Vavrzhynets Peplovsky revived the cave monastery, which had already fallen into disrepair, as a Greek-Catholic monastery, inviting the Basilian fathers. The upper cave was named after the Nativity of John the Baptist, the lower one - Saint Onuphrius. An artificial waterfall was built above the caves.

In 1810, the monastery was closed, and in Soviet times, the church located on the upper platform was dismantled.

Orlovsky Palace (Historical and Cultural Museum)

Palace / manor , Architecture , Museum / gallery

The palace and park complex in Maliivtsy was built in 1788 by Count Yan Orlovsky, who bought the estate from Yuriy Svirsky. Now the Orlovsky palace is a historical and cultural museum.

The palace in the style of early classicism was built according to the project of the architect Domenico Merlini. A huge library, paintings by Polish artists, a rare numismatic collection, and an archive containing correspondence between Polish kings and Roman popes were stored in luxuriously decorated rooms. Peacocks were walking in the yard between the marble sculptural groups.

The palace was surrounded by an English romantic park, planned by the famous park builder Dionysius Mickler (Mackler) and the gardener Kliger. In the park, located on the slopes of a picturesque stream, 84 types of trees grow: Weymouth pine, beech, 300-year-old ash, etc. A water tower, a bridge, a spring, and two ponds have been preserved in the park. A special historical value is an 18-meter limestone rock with a two-tiered grotto and an artificial waterfall.

Until recently, the Maliivtsi regional children's tuberculosis sanatorium "Svitanok" was located on the territory. On September 30, 2021, by decision of the regional state administration in Maliivtsi, the Maliivtsi Regional Historical and Cultural Museum was created instead of the liquidated sanatorium and the palace of Count Orlovsky was opened for visits.
