Attractions of Turka

The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Turka was built in 1779 on the site of the first wooden Roman Catholic church, which was founded in 1730 on the initiative of the magnate Antoniya Kalynovsky, who owned the city at that time.

Kalynovsky invited the Jesuit fathers to Turka and entrusted them with the care of the city's small Catholic parish. In 1749, the Jesuit order was liquidated by the Austrian government and the Church of the Assumption became a parish church.

In 1906-1914, reconstruction was carried out according to the project of Stanislav Mayerskyi. After the Soviet period of desolation, in 1992 the Church of the Assumption was returned to Turka Roman Catholics.

The city hall in the center of the Rynok Square of the city of Turka was built in 1907 on the site of the old wooden building of the magistrate.

Turka received the right to self-government in 1730. The new building of the city hall is made in the Art Nouveau style. It is still used for its purpose - it houses the Turka City Council.

Also in the town hall is the People's Museum "Boykivshchyna", which tells about the history and culture of this region. Permanent expositions: "History of Turka from ancient times to the present day", "Ethnography: clothing, household items", "Work tools in subsistence farming", "Room of the ethnographer Mykhaylo Zubrytsky", "Ukrainian diaspora".
