Attractions of Vinnytsia region

The Holy Dormition Church was built in place of the burnt down wooden Cossack church, founded in Ozaryntsi back in 1719.

The parishioners of the Assumption Parish, assigned to the Christmas Church after the fire, could not come to terms with the fact that on major holidays they have to stand outside during the service. In 1882, they sent their representatives to the Metropolitan of Kamyanets-Podilskyi, who allocated part of the funds and sent an architect to the village to build a new church.

The construction dragged on for many years, the parishioners were never able to settle the bill with the architect, and he promised that the church would not stand still for a long time. It was indeed closed in the 1930s, was used for economic purposes for a long time, and still remains in a state of disrepair.

The Church of the Holy Trinity is the tallest building in Brailiv.

It was built on the site of a wooden and earthen castle in the 15th-17th centuries after the old Catholic church of the Trinitarian order was handed over to the Orthodox in 1832.

The Empire-style building has an unusual appearance for a church due to the very high bell tower, which makes it look less like a temple and more like a town hall with a tower.

In Soviet times, the building was converted into a workshop of a juice factory, on the territory of which it is still located. In 1990, the church was handed over to the Orthodox community of the Moscow Patriarchate.

The only monument to the British rock musician John Lennon in Ukraine is located in the center of Mohyliv-Podilskyi, in the square next to the entrance to the city park.

The granite sculpture "Beatle" was created in 1989-1990 by the famous Podillya sculptor Oleksiy Alyoshkin, installed among several other works of the master.

The palace of Podillya marshal Stanislav Komar in Murovani Kurylivtsi was built in 1805 on the basis of fortress buildings of the 16th century.

In the architectural composition of the manor, the architect included parts of the castle buildings: the stone escarpment of the bastion castle on the northern, eastern and southern sides (which includes underground vaulted casemates), and on the western, floor side - the foundations and ruins of the former castle wall. This part of the palace looks very majestic, while on the other side it is an ordinary two-story building in the style of classicism.

A landscape park, the construction of which was managed in 1814 by the famous Irish park builder Dionisiy Mikler (Makkler), who created many wonderful parks in Podillya, is partially preserved.

Among other buildings of the manor that have survived: an arsenal (stable), a wing in the Neo-Gothic style, a stone three-span arched bridge over the Zhvan River.

In the 1960s, the palace underwent a major reconstruction (the lobby was redesigned, the sizes and levels of the windows on the second floor were changed). Now the estate houses a sanatorium-boarding school for children with diseases of the cardiovascular system.

The Cathedral of the Nativity of Christ in Tulchyn is located in the premises of the former church of the Dominican monastery, which was built in 1780 in the style of early classicism.

The first Catholic church appeared on this site back in 1636, but was soon destroyed. Revived at the expense of Polish tycoon Stanislav Shchensny Potocki. Here Count Pototski married the legendary Sofiya, for whom he later built the Sofiyivka park in Uman.

After 1831, the church was rebuilt in the Orthodox style.

The five-domed church in honor of the Nativity of the Most Holy Virgin Church in Ozaryntsi was founded in 1865 at the expense of Count Chatsky, consecrated in 1868.

Inside the Nativity Church there is a two-tier carved iconostasis. Especially revered icons: the Mother of God of the Quick Obedience, Saint Onuphrius.

The well-preserved large early Scythian Nemyrivske Hillfort "Big Ramparts" (or "Scythian Ramparts") of the VII-VI centuries BC is located on both banks of the Ustya River, 5 kilometers southeast of Nemyriv.

The area of the Nemyrivske Hillfort is about 150 hectares. It is surrounded by an earthen rampart 5.5 kilometers long, up to 9 meters high, with a deep moat. The castle is located in the northern part. On the territory of the "Scythian ramparts" the remains of a dug-out dwelling were discovered.

In the 10th-11th centuries, there was an ancient Rus settlement of Myriv at this place. According to legends, Myriv was completely destroyed during the Tatar invasion, and the inhabitants who remained alive moved the settlement to the place of the present Nemyriv.

Only separate fragments have survived from the Ozaryntsi castle, built in 1657, which protected Podillya from the frequent raids of the Tatars along the Volochsky route.

The builders of the fortress were the Cossacks of the Mohyliv colonel Ostap Hohol (the ancestor of Mykola Hohol), and his son Prokop in 1674 received a station wagon for the possession of the Ozaryntsi people from the Polish king.

In 1690, the castle was destroyed by the Turks, but after their expulsion from Podillya in 1699, it was restored again. According to legend, underground passages led from the fortress down under the river and up to the current shopping square.

Later, the castle lost its value and was almost completely dismantled. One of the owners converted its remains into granaries. Until now, sections of the eastern wall, one tier of the entrance tower and the casemate have been partially preserved.

The creation of the museum on the site of Muravsky's native house began during his lifetime as a national toloka. The exhibition presents materials about the life and work of the conductor, his personal belongings and a grand piano.

The original building in the neo-Gothic style was built in Mohyliv-Podilskyi at the beginning of the 20th century.

Needs restoration.

The manor of the representatives of the Potocki count family in Dashiv is located in a picturesque place above the rapids of the Sob River.

In the 1850s, the Dashiv palace was rebuilt in its current form by Vlodzimezh Potocki, the grandson of the owner of Tulchyn and Uman, Stanislav Shchensny Potocki. The river with a bridge and a dam were part of the composition of the palace park, which is partially preserved in the western part of the manor.

The ensemble consists of a palace and stable buildings. The Dashiv Palace is made in the forms of late classicism. On the park facade overlooking the river is an open loggia with cast iron columns. The stables are built of granite and brick and are located across the street from the palace.
