Attractions of Zhytomyr region

The manor in Ruzhyn was built in the 19th century by the landowner Chelishchev. In 1856, it was bought from the hammer by landowner Antoniy Zlotnytskyi.

The palace was characterized by contemporaries as magnificent, but now its appearance is greatly spoiled by later reconstructions.

On the territory of the Zlotnytsky manor is the board of the Ruzhyn agricultural cooperative.

According to legend, the manor house is connected to the church by an underground passage.

The Zviahel Local Lore Museum was created on the basis of the Museum of Military Glory, which has been operating since 1975, in two halls of the Lesya Ukrainka City Palace of Culture. In 2018, the Zviahel Local Lore Museum received a new separate building.

The museum's collections include about three and a half thousand exhibits of the main collection and almost one thousand exhibits of the auxiliary collection.

A separate section is devoted to the history of ancient Zviahel in the 13th-18th centuries. The museum stores a rich collection of written documents and ancient books. The basis of the numismatic collection is Roman coins, money from the Cossack era, and royal coins.

The ethnographic department of the museum presents a collection of towels, embroidery, and household items of the Polissya region.

A separate section presents the construction of Novohrad-Volynskiy fortified area No. 7, which stretched for 120 kilometers and was built in the 1930s. In 2014, work began on the museumization of the armored cap and half-caponier. These are unique objects of the fortification heritage of the first half of the 20th century, on the basis of which it is planned to create a branch of the open-air museum.
