Attractions of Kamin-Kashyrskyi

The wooden church of the Holy Prophet Ilya in Kamin-Kashyrskyi is an architectural monument of national significance.

The temple is three-timbered, single-headed. The belfry, adjacent to the western facade, gives the composition a landmark of the character of Moscow architecture of the 19th century.

The Museum of Local Lore in the city of Kamin-Kashirskyi was founded in 1980 by the local historian Vasyl Kmetsynsky, and later received the status of a national museum.

The museum exposition is located in the building of the former pedagogical school, built in the 1930s. The museum's funds include more than 4,000 exhibits.

The Kamin-Kashyrskyi Museum of Local Lore is proud of its ethnographic collection, which contains exceptional examples of embroidery of the beginning of the 20th century, objects of daily life and use of Volyn residents of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Fragments of a carved altar from the first half of the 17th century are a unique sacred monument.

A separate exhibition is dedicated to the Kosach family, who often visited the village of Zaprudya, located between Kamin-Kashyrskyi and Kovel, where the aunt of the writer Lesya Ukrayinka lived. In particular, the exposition presents an icon of Saint Nicholas of the 19th century from the Holy Dormition Church in Zaprudya - a memorial icon of the Kosach family.
