Academic Regional Ukrainian Drama Theater named after Ivan Ozarkevych

Architecture , Theater / show

Kolomyia Academic Regional Ukrainian Drama Theater named after Ivan Ozarkevych bears the name of the founder of the first Ukrainian drama theater in Galicia.

The fashion for theaters came here with the transition of the region under Austrian rule. In 1848, the chairman of the Kolomyia council Vereshchynskyi, burgomaster Drymalin and local priest Ozarkevych initiated the creation of a Ukrainian amateur theater. It lasted three years.

After a short break, the theater was revived in 1865 as a traveling professional troupe "Rus People's Theater". Since 1939, the theater has acquired state status.

Assumption of Blessed Virgin Mary Church

Temple , Architecture

The Greek Catholic Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in Horodenka in the 18th century at the expense of Mykola Vasyl Potoski.

According to legend, the temple was founded by Potoski to atone for his sin - the murder of a local girl (according to one version, these events formed the basis of the folk "Song of Bondarivna").

The author of the project is the famous architect Berdard Meretyn. Instead of the traditional cross, the temple is crowned with the "Pilyava" cross of the Potocki family coat of arms.

The iconostasis of the Church of the Assumption is similar to the iconostasis of Saint George's Cathedral in Lviv - it was also created by the outstanding Ukrainian sculptor Ivan Pinzel, who often worked together with Meretyn.

Chernelytsia Castle

Castle / fortress

In the 17th century, Chernelytsia Castle was one of the most powerful eastern outposts of the Commonwealth of Nations.

It was built in 1659 by the Bratslav voivode Mykhaylo Chartoryskyi, as evidenced by his coat of arms "Pohon" on the gate tower. On the other side, there is the coat of arms of "Pilava" of the prince's wife, Yefrosyniya Stanislavitska (a legend is associated with her about the swarthy mistress of the castle, who committed suicide after cheating on her husband).

The castle is square in plan, with high walls on earthen ramparts and four bastions at the corners. It played an important role during the Polish-Turkish wars, Polish troops stored weapons and supplies here. The Polish king Yan III Sobieski repeatedly stayed in the castle during his Moldavian campaigns.

As a magnate's residence, the castle lasted until 1817, when its last owner, Mykola Tsensky, died. In Soviet times, a hospital was located on the territory.

Now the castle is in a dilapidated state.

Church of Saint Ignatius Loyola

Temple , Architecture

The Catholic Church of Saint Ignatius Loyola in Kolomyia was built on the initiative of the Polish Catholic community of the city, which invited the Jesuit Fathers of the "Society of Jesus" order. In addition to missionary activity, the Jesuits were engaged in education and charity.

The construction of the temple according to the project of the Chernivtsi architect Yosyp Lyaytsner was supervised by the engineer Dioniziy Kzhychkovskyi. The church was called "man's" because most of the parishioners were wealthy people.
