Attractions of Ivaniv

The Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Ivaniv was a part of the Bernardine monastery founded in 1780 by Solomiya Kholonevska.

Decorated with columns of the Corinthian order and baroque vases. To the right of the church building is an L-shaped church building, veneered in Soviet times with tiles.

The church was famous for the largest organ in Vinnytsia, which was destroyed by the German invaders in 1943.

The castle-palace in Ivaniv traces its history from the 15th century, when Prince Zbarazkyi built the Yaniv fortress.

In the 16th century, the castle was rebuilt according to the bastion system. The fortifications had the shape of a square, at the corners of which there were bastions with small towers, and there was a deep moat with water around it.

In the 18th century, when Yaniv passed into the possession of the Polish magnates Kholonevsky, the need for fortifications already disappeared. Count Adam Kholonevsky built a palace on the site of the fortress, using some of the walls and towers of the medieval castle. The palace was made in the style of the transition from baroque to classicism.

The Column Hall with fat columns, the Marble Hall with walls decorated with white marble, stucco rosettes on the ceilings, stairs to the second floor have survived from the old interiors to our days.

All this can be seen from September to June, as the Kholonevsky Palace is now occupied by a boarding school for orphans and children from low-income families.
