Attractions of Shatsk

The picturesque Hryada tract on Lake Svityaz was built up with many recreation centers in Soviet times.

Legally, it belongs to the city of Shatsk, but in fact it is already an independent settlement.

The bulk of modern hotels and high-level recreation complexes are concentrated here, and a large area is reserved for car camping.

The Church of the Nativity of the Holy Virgin in Shatsk was built in 1830-1839 on the site of a wooden Orthodox church founded in 1510.

Count Vladyslav Branytsky allocated the funds for the construction.

The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin has characteristic features of classicism. At the same time, it is distinguished by two symmetrically located towers and the gradual increase of the mass in the western direction, which makes it similar to the two-towered churches of the Baroque era.

The Flora and Fauna Museum of the Shatsk National Park operates at the Shatsk Forestry College, which was founded in 1963 by Valentyn Sulko, an honored forester of Ukraine, and now bears his name.

400 species of animals and birds are presented in the museum pavilion. The oldest exhibit is a bison, which was donated to the museum by Bilovezka Pushcha 40 years ago. 85% of the exhibits are made by the hands of teachers and students of the college.
