Attractions of Tomashivka

The elegant building in the Art Nouveau style was built in 1903 according to the project of the architect Valerian Kulykivskyi for the family of noblemen Khoyetsky, who owned Tomashivka since 1810.

The building is brick, two- and partly one-story, and has a complex plan. The appearance is diversified by numerous pediments, slats, cornices, enriched by an open veranda decorated with carved wooden bindings, and the same loggia.

In Soviet times, the building housed a secondary school. Currently, the premises and territory of the manor are at the disposal of the Rizopolozhenskyi Monastery of the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate, restoration and construction work is being carried out by the brothers.

Churches of the Passion of Christ, the Resurrection of Christ, the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, All the Monks of Pechersk, Paisius the Great, as well as the chapels of Saint Khoma, the prudent robber Rach, Saint Matron, Saint Uar and Saint Anastasia the Improviser were erected on the territory. The bell tower with the chapel of Saint Nicholas is under construction. It is planned to build a grand Cathedral of the Imposition of the Robe of the Mother of God in Blacherna.

The monks organized a mini-zoo where ponies, ostriches, and various birds are kept.

Visitors are asked to dress modestly (women in long skirts and headscarves, men in trousers) and refrain from taking photographs on the grounds.
