The Memorial estate-museum of Kyrylo Stetsenko was opened in the village of Vepryk in the Fastiv region, where the composer spent the last years of his life - from 1920 to 1922.
Stetsenko, who turned to the church during the revolution, responded to the invitation of the community of Vepryk, which wanted to have a Ukrainian priest. In the village, the composer created two folk choirs: village and children's. In the spring of 1922, Kyrylo Stetsenko fell ill with typhus and died, just short of his 40th birthday. He was buried in Vepryk, the residents take care of his grave.
The museum stores the composer's belongings, a grand piano, as well as ethnographic and everyday items that help to recreate the environment in which Kyrylo Stetsenko lived and worked.

The wooden church of Saint Paraskeva in the village of Vepryk in the Fastiv region was founded in 1856.
The parish priest in this church in 1920-1922 was the prominent Ukrainian composer Kyrylo Stetsenko, who was invited by local residents to lead the local parish after he turned to the church at the end of his life.
During Soviet times, the church of Saint Paraskeva was destroyed. In the early 1990s, it was restored on the former foundation in its original form according to the surviving drawings.
