Attractions of Kulchytsi

The Museum of Hetman Petro  Konashevych-Sahaydachny was opened in the village of Kulchytsi, where he was born in 1570 in the family of a local nobleman.

From there, he went to study at the Ostroh Academy, and then applied to the Zaporizhzhian Sich, later becoming one of the most prominent political figures in the history of Ukraine.

In 1992, a monument to Sahaydachny was erected in Kulchytsi.

The Sahaydachny museum was opened in the premises of the former elementary school. The exposition includes about 900 exhibits. Since 1993, on every third Sunday of April, "Sahaydachny Memorial Day" has been held annually near the monument to Petro Sahaydachny.

There is also an exhibition dedicated to another famous native of Kulchytsi - Yuriy Kulchytsky, the hero of the defense of Vienna in 1683 and the owner of the first Viennese coffee house.

In 2010, a monument to Yuriy Kulchytsky was erected in front of the museum.

The wooden church of Saints Flor and Lavr in Kulchytsi was founded in the 15th century. It was completely rebuilt several times.

Construction of the current one began in 1904, but construction was delayed until 1935 due to the First World War.

The temple is small, cruciform in plan. The entrance part of the church attracts attention: a tall arched door above which you can see the image of the Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary and a canopy over the door that repeats the silhouette of the church dome, under which is placed a wooden cross, for some reason pointing downwards.

In 1992, an equestrian monument to Hetman Petro Sahaydachny was erected near the Church of Flor and Lavr.
