Attractions of Romanivka

The Romanivka Literary and Memorial Museum-Manor of the Rylsky Family in Zhytomyr region is located in the village of Romanivka, which now belongs to the Kvitneve village hromada.

Since the middle of the 19th century, the Rylsky family of Ukrainian cultural and public figures lived here. Having purchased Romanivka in 1844, the marshal of the Skvyra nobility, Teodor Rylsky, established a family estate here and built a manor house. Among his descendants, ethnographer and economist Tadey Rylsky, teacher and translator Ivan Rylsky, poet and linguist Maksym Rylsky owned the Romaniv estate.

During the Soviet rule, the Rylsky manor house housed a school where Maksym Rylsky taught in 1921-1923. Back in 1965, a museum room was created at the school, and in 1991, a literary and memorial museum was opened. The interior of Rylsky's room is partially reproduced, memorial items, books, photographs and documents are exhibited, the interior of the classroom of the old village school is presented.

In the park part of the manor museum, there is a bust of Maksym Rylsky.

Every year in May, the literary and artistic festival "Romanian Spring" is held on the territory of the museum.
