Attractions of Stara Pryluka

The palace in Stara Pryluka was built at the end of the 18th century by the Polish magnate Aleksandr Borzęcki. He also laid out a landscape park on the site of an ancient Rus hillfort and the old Pryluka castle of the 16th-17th centuries (the earthen ramparts have been preserved).

The building was rebuilt several times, the last time - in 1906, under Serhii Merinh, the son of the famous Kyiv doctor and entrepreneur Fedir Merinh. It was then that it acquired its current neo-baroque appearance.

The building is very reminiscent of the Mariyinskyi Palace in Kyiv. Some rooms, including the lobby, are decorated in a Moorish style reminiscent of the Spanish Alhambra Palace. The majolica decoration of the ceilings and walls in the lobby has been preserved. Some rooms have preserved mahogany ceilings.

Currently, the premises of the Merinh palace are partially used by a boarding school.

Nearby is the Church of the Intercession (1910).

The stone Intercession Church in Stara Pryluka was built in 1910 by engineer Rikhard Kraus, as evidenced by a plaque built into the stairs.

The ancient paintings have not been preserved, but the height of the bath is still impressive - about 20 meters.

In the 1960s, the church was closed, but in 1990, with the help of the village council, it became active again.

On January 1, 2023, the first Divine Service of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine was held in the Intercession Church.
