Attractions of Malyn

The only monument in Ukraine to the scientist and traveler Mykola Myklukho-Maklay was erected in Malyn, where his mother's estate was and where he himself lived for some time.

A descendant of an ancient Cossack family, Myklukho-Maklay is known in the world as an outstanding ethnographer, researcher of the peoples of Southeast Asia, Australia and Oceania. He spent many years traveling the world, but at the end of his life he returned to Malyn - he studied the life and traditions of the Polischuks here, and was interested in the origin of the Drevlyans.

Monuments to the scientist were also erected in Australia, New Guinea and Russia.

The monument in the center of Malyn was opened in 1986 in honor of the celebration of the 140th anniversary of the birth of Myklukho-Maklay. The author of the monument is the sculptor Petro Stepakov.

The Roman Catholic Church of Saint Anna is the oldest preserved Malyn church.

The first wooden Catholic church was built in the city in 1784 at the expense of Stanislav Kordysh. In 1869, the shrine burned down, and in 1884, through the efforts of Princess Tsetsyliya Radzyvill, a new church in the style of classicism was built in its place.

In Soviet times, it was used as one of the premises of a secondary school. In 1992, the church of Saint Anna was returned to the Catholic community of Malyn. In 2013, the major renovation of the temple began, and already in July 2017, the altar was re-consecrated.
