The complex of buildings of the Berhman brothers' manor in the urban-type village of Solone is a rare example of a German-Mennonite manor, built in the second half of the 19th century in the neo-Gothic style of eclecticism.
In 1862, part of the lands of Solone (then Enhelhardivka) was purchased by the Mennonite family of Abram and Suzanne Berhman from West Prussia. Between the mid-1870s and the early 1890s, their sons Herman and Abram built two manor houses on either side of the man-made pond that bisects the village.
Only the farm buildings on Usenka Street remained from the southern estate of Herman Bergman. Instead, the main one-story brick house with Neo-Gothic elements in architecture has been preserved on the territory of the northern estate of Abram Berhman's younger brother. The main height accents of the facade are risalites, which end with complex neo-Gothic triangular pediments with arrow-shaped attic window openings. The decoration of the gables is characterized by skillfully made brick decor. A high faceted bay window tower faces the pond, which ends with a complex octagonal tent covered with tiles in the form of carp scales. Elements of the original decor have been partially preserved in the interior of the house.
During the Moscow-Bolshevik invasion, the property of the estate was looted, and the owners were shot. During Soviet times, the Berhmans' house housed the authorities, later the Palace of Pioneers and the library.
Since 1992, part of the premises has been occupied by the Museum of the History of Solone, founded in 1976. The museum's collections include 2,000 exhibits. In particular, the exposition tells about the history of the Berhman family and their contribution to the development of the region's economy.
The Berhman House is an architectural monument of local importance. The building needs restoration.

It was built in 1775-1778 by the order of the last basket chieftain of the Zaporizhzhia Sich, Petro Kalnyshevsky, under the leadership of Colonel Antin Holovaty of Samar, at the expense of the Zaporizhzhia Army.
The complex 9-log structure was assembled from 559 logs without a single nail by Yakym Pohrebnyak, a self-taught craftsman from Nizhny Vodolaha, Kharkiv province, having first made a model. Colonel Antin Holovaty of Samar Palanka supervised the construction. The foundation of the temple took place a few days before the liquidation of Zaporizhzhia Sich.

Architecture
An interesting building in the style of Ukrainian Art Nouveau on the central avenue of the city is called "Khrinnykov's House" or "Ukrainian House" in Dnipro.
The four-story commercial building was built in 1912 by the entrepreneur and philanthropist Volodymyr Khrinnykov from Ekaterinoslav according to the project of the Kyiv architect Petro Fetysov. According to the idea of Khrinnikov, who was a Ukrainian patriot, a member of the council of the local association "Prosvita", the new building was to become an architectural embodiment of Ukrainian national culture.
Ethnographer and historian Dmytro Yavornytskyi played a significant role in the development of the project. Hexagonal windows, multi-tiered tent towers with forged spiers, red tiled roofs and white walls resembled the forms of the structure of the times of the Zaporizhzhian Sich. Originally, the spiers of the towers were crowned with images of a horse, a quiver and a falcon, as well as a weather vane cross with a Cossack and a noble fighting. Colorful majolica has been preserved under the roof, as well as the image of the main element of the coat of arms of the Zaporizhzhia Army - a Cossack with a musket and a saber. Part of the wing of the building was once equipped for theatrical purposes.
Before the revolution of 1917, the "Palace" theater was located here. Currently, the building is occupied by the five-star Grand Hotel "Ukraine".

The factory Nicolas Church in the working village on the western outskirts of Katerynoslav (Dnipro) was built at a "shocking pace" - in just 28 months.
It went down in history as "Bryansk" - after the name of the area (Bryansk Colony).
Five pinnacles, a three-tier bell tower with a clock - the building is designed in a neoclassical style with abundant decor. Apparently, in terms of size and splendor, this church could compete with the main churches of Katerynoslav (Dnipro) - Transfiguration, Assumption and Trinity.
In 1929, the church was closed, a warehouse was located here. In the post-war period, the building fell into disrepair, it was about to be demolished, but thanks to the efforts of enthusiasts, the church acquired the status of an architectural monument and was converted into an organ hall.
In 1988, the Dnipro "House of Organ and Chamber Music" was opened, which is still functioning. The Dnipro organ is included in the UNESCO catalogs.
The House of Organ and Chamber Music organizes tours with a concert visit.
The building was damaged during the Russian invasion on March 11, 2022. As a result of enemy shelling, projectile fragments hit the walls and windows of the building.

The memorial complex in honor of the glorified Kosh Otaman Ivan Sirko was created at the entrance to Kapulivka in 1963, when, before the creation of the Kakhovska HPP, it was decided to rebury his remains from Chortomlyk Island, which was in the flood zone.
A bronze bust of Sirko is placed on top of the mound, which was built over the reburial site, and at its foot is a tombstone carved by the Zaporozhzhian Cossacks. On the sides of the alley leading to the grave of the Kosh otaman, a small chapel and a watchtower were built, reproducing the spirit of the Cossack era.

Saint Barbara's Bell Tower Church in Kytaihorod organically combines the features of a temple, a bell tower, and a defense tower in one building.
It was built in the 18th century at the same time as two other stone churches on the initiative of the Kytaihorod centurion Pavlo Semenov.
A powerful two-story tower dominates the building. At first it served as a belfry, was part of the system of city fortifications, then it was rebuilt into a church.
The Barbara Church was closed in 1954, and remained derelict for a long time. It was consecrated anew in 1996.
Saint Nicholas Church in Kytaihorod is a typical rotunda church in the Baroque style, an example of a tetraconch single-tower church.
It was built in 1757 on the initiative and at the expense of the Kytaihorod centurion Pavlo Semenov.
Wall surfaces are diversified by pilasters, windows are framed by decorative moldings. Paintings in the drum, on the vaults and walls of the church have been preserved. In places, an earlier painting of the 18th century can be seen through them.
The construction of the Transfiguration Cathedral was started in 1787 during Kateryna II's tour of the southern territories. The empress personally laid the first stone, which is considered to be the moment of the foundation of the city. However, the continuation of the works dragged on for 48 years and ended only in 1835.
The cathedral is located in the middle of a green square in the historical part of the Dnipro. It has a high architectural and artistic value as a building that reflected the traditions and techniques of the Russian classical school during its heyday.
During the years of Soviet power, at the request of academician Dmytro Yavornytskyi, a museum of atheism was opened in the cathedral, thanks to which it was possible to save the temple from destruction and preserve the interiors. The cathedral briefly resumed work during the German occupation. Restored in 1975. In 1992, it was handed over to the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate.
Nearby is the verst "Katerynynska Mile".
