Attractions of Mala Petrykivka

The ethnographic museum-manor "Mykolyn Khutir" in the village of Mala Petrykivka in Dnipropetrovsk region was founded in 2019 by famous masters of Petrykivka painting Mykola and Valentyna Deka.

They receive guests in their own village house over a hundred years old, which is decorated with traditional paintings in the Petrykivka style and turned into a museum of traditional peasant life. A prominent place in the interior is occupied by a traditional Ukrainian stove. You can also see an antique loom, a painted chest, embroidered clothes and towels.

Visitors are offered master classes in Petrykivka painting and motanka dolls, as well as lunches with homemade dishes.

The main attraction of the Khutir is "Traveling Hut" – a painted house on wheels, which can travel around the village.

The Cathedral of the Nativity of the Holy Virgin in Mala Petrykivka was founded in 1772 on the initiative of the chieftain of Zaporizhzhia Sich, Petro Kalnyshevskyi, who is considered the founder of the village.

According to church records, the church was moved to the site of a new settlement from the village of Kurylivka. In 1812, the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin was rebuilt in stone. A three-part temple with a rectangular central part, a semicircular apse and a projecting vestibule. On the western facade - a four-column portico, completed by a triangular pediment.

An architectural monument of national importance.

Currently, the right of ownership of the cathedral is being registered by the Petrykivka settlement community, which will be able to decide to whom and under what conditions it will be transferred for use by the relevant religious community.

In dire need of restoration.
