Attractions of Liubeshiv

The entrance gate and the landscape park were preserved from the estate founded in Liubeshiv by Mykhaylo Servatsiy Vyshnevetskyi in the 18th century.

Later, the manor belonged to the Zamoyskis, the Mnisheks, until in 1754 it became the property of the Bratslav castellan Yan Antoniy Charnetsky. His descendants owned the manor until the Second World War.

The Charnetsky Palace did not survive the period of Soviet rule. Now you can see only the baroque stone gates and the abandoned park on the banks of the Stohid river, in which 80 species of trees and shrubs grow. The park is part of the protected area of the Prypyat-Stokhid National Nature Park.

The Capuchin monastery in Liubeshiv was founded in 1761 at the expense of the Bratslav castellan Yan Charnetsky, who owned the city. Charnetsky did not live to see the end of construction and was buried with honors within its walls.

The monastery was consecrated only in 1786, but it did not last long. In 1817, the Capuchin monastery completely burned down, and the authorities of tsarist Russia prevented its restoration. Only in 1926, when these territories were again part of Poland, the complex began to be restored. The new monastery in honor of Saint Francis was registered in 1935, but after 4 years it was closed by the Soviet authorities.

Although the premises were not used for many years, the architectural monument has survived to this day. Today it is the parish church of Saints Cyril and Methodius.

The Collegium in Liubeshiv was established in the 17th century at the monastery of the Catholic Order of Piarists, founded at the expense of Prince Yan-Karol Dolsky.

In 1753-1758, the national hero of the Polish people, Tadeush Kostyushko, studied here.

In 1939, the activity of the collegium was stopped, the church of PR was destroyed.

Currently, the building of the former Collegium of  Piarists houses the education department of the local administration and the newspaper editorial office.

National nature park "Prypyat-Stokhid" combines all protected objects of the former Liubeshiv district in Volyn.

The total area of ​​the park is 39,315.5 hectares. Its northern border borders with Belarus. The structure of the park's land consists of: swamps - 43%, forests - 35%, shrubs - 16%, water fund - 6%.

The nature park got its name from the two rivers flowing through its territory - Prypyat and Stokhid. A characteristic feature of these rivers is the presence of dozens of branches, riverbeds, floodplains, old rivers, among which there are many swampy and sandy islands.

Forty-two species of plants listed in the Red Book of Ukraine grow in the park. There is also a rare fauna - 84 species of red book species of animals.
