Attractions of Chervone

The large, though heavily dilapidated, three-story neo-Gothic building with two towers contrasts sharply with the surrounding agricultural landscape of Chervone village.

The palace with pointed windows and other Gothic elements was built by magnate Adolf Norbert Erasm Groholsky, who owned Chervone in the 18th and 19th centuries.

At the end of the 19th century, the estate was purchased from Princess Vanda Radzyvill by the sugar factory Mykola Tereshchenko, who then sold (or transferred) it to his brother Fedir Tereshchenko, who reconstructed the palace and the neighboring sugar factory.

At the beginning of the 20th century, his son Fedir Tereshchenko Junior. opened an aircraft workshop at the factory, where in 1913 the production of airplanes for the military department was established. There is a small museum dedicated to the history of aircraft construction and the Tereshchenko family at the plant.

The palace in Chervone currently belongs to the Zhytomyr diocese of the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate, the Chervonensky Nativity Convent has been opened in it, but restoration work is not being carried out, the building continues to deteriorate.

On the territory you can see a non-working fountain, which used to be decorated with four fish. Another fountain with a unique cast-iron sculpture "Three Graces", which Tereshchenko ordered from France, is now standing on the square in front of the building of culture.

In the 19th century, the Tereshchenko family of industrialists bought the sugar factory in Chervonoy from the landowners Hrokholsky. They modernized the plant in accordance with advanced technologies at that time.

Fedir Tereshchenko, who was fond of aircraft construction, founded an aviation workshop at the plant. The hippodrome was used as an airfield. In 1910, seven aircraft were built on the basis of French "cases", one of which fought in the Russian army during the First World War. Ihor Sikorskyi, one of the fathers of world aviation, worked as an engineer at the enterprise, who later created the largest airplane of that time, "Illya Muromets", at the expense of Tereshchenko.

After the Soviet-Ukrainian war, the plant was nationalized, and later a museum of the enterprise was opened on the territory.

In recent years, the exposition has been supplemented with materials about the Tereshchenko family and their contribution to aircraft construction. Apply to the pass-through.
