Manor House

Palace / manor

Local residents call the 19th-century manor house with a wooden manor house and a picturesque park on the banks of the Irpin River in Yaropovychi "panska".

Until 1859, the manor belonged to the Pole Tyt Trzhetsyak, then it became the property of Syhizmund Kotyushynsky. The characteristic provincial architecture with many carved elements and decorations gives a vivid idea of the life of small landowners of the 19th century.

Until recently, there was a high school in the building, now there are plans to create a local history museum.

Saint Basil's Cathedral

Temple , Architecture

Saint Basil's Cathedral is the oldest temple in the city of Ovruch.

It was built in 1190 by Prince Ryuryk Rostyslavovych on the site of a wooden temple built in memory of Prince Oleh Svyatoslavovych, who died in 977. The construction was supervised by the ancient Rus architect Petro Mylonig, one of the four architects of the pre-Mongol period, whose names have been preserved in history.

In terms of architecture, the temple is close to Sophia of Kyiv. Kyiv, Smolensk, and Grodno techniques are used in the exterior decoration, creating a strict and at the same time rich decoration of the temple.

In 1321, the Saint Basil's Church in Ovruch was almost completely destroyed by the Lithuanians, restored at the beginning of 1909 by the famous architect Oleksiy Shchusev (for this work he received the title of academician of architecture). Paintings on non-canonical subjects were performed by the outstanding artist Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin. Fragments of Old Rus frescoes have also been preserved.

Nearby is the women's Saint Basil's Monastery, built in the Pskov architectural style at the same time as the temple was restored. The complex includes a cell building and a bell tower.

A granite cross was erected for the 1000th anniversary of Saint Basil's Church.

Stone Village

Natural object

The State Geological Reserve "Stone Village" ("Kamyane Selo") is located on the territory of the Polisky Reserve, in the Zamyslovytskyi Forestry, 30 kilometers northeast of Olevsk.

Large boulders scattered in the forest between pines and oaks form "streets" on which there are "houses", "church" and "school". One of the stones has three indentations resembling human footprints - "footprints of God".

The boulders were probably brought by a glacier, after which they were weathered. There are several folk legends about the origin of the "Stone Village". One of them tells about how greedy residents of a forest settlement refused shelter to travelers, for which they were punished - their houses were petrified.

Tereshchenko Palace

Palace / manor , Architecture

A half-ruined three-tiered tower towers over the ruins of the Tereshchenko Palace in the village of Denyshi, right next to the track, giving the ruins some resemblance to a medieval castle, from which it got its current name.

The palace was built in 1910-1191 according to the project of the architect Pavlo Holandskyi, using progressive architectural and construction methods at that time. Thus, during construction, concrete was widely used, and shaped elements were made with brick plaster. At that time, the estate belonged to Nadiya Tereshchenko, the daughter of a sugar factory, active State Councilor Fedir Tereshchenko.

After the Bolshevik coup of 1917, the Tereshchenko palace was looted. Despite severe destruction, the surviving walls of the palace still retain traces of rich stucco decorations and luxury.
