Attractions of Arsenivka

Museum and nature reserve "Tobilevychi" in the village of Arsenivka was founded as a reserve "Fatherland of Ivan Karpenko-Karyi" to the 150th anniversary of the birth of this outstanding Ukrainian writer, playwright and theater actor.

It was in Arsenivka that Ivan Tobilevych was born in 1845 - the future great artist Karpenko-Karyi.

The Tobilevych family lived in Arsenivka for ten years. Karpenko-Karyi's father, Karpo Tobilevych, managed the estate of landowner Zolotnytskyi here. An old classicist manor house still stands in the park on the shore of the pond, and nearby is a manor cellar. Historical buildings have preserved authentic elements of contemporary architecture.

On the territory of the former manor estate, built in the first half of the 19th century, where there was a school in Soviet times, the Museum and Nature Reserve "Tobilevychi" is now located. Its exposition part still needs filling and design.

In 2021, the territory of the manor estate was declared a 8.7-hectare park-monument park of garden and park art "Tobilevychi". Here you can meet representatives of the red book flora and fauna of Ukraine.

A commemorative sign has been installed on the territory of Nizhny Skver, where the Tobilevych house was located, where Ivan Tobilevych was born.

Museum and nature reserve "Tobilevychi" is a branch of the Central Ukrainian Regional Museum of Local Lore.
