Antoniy Cave

Historic area , Temple

The oldest religious building in Liubech is an underground temple, excavated in the 11th century by monk Antoniy Pecherskyi.

The founder and first abbot of the Kyiv-Pechersk Monastery was born in Liubech in 983. According to legend, from here he went to Palestine, received tonsure on Mount Athos, and, returning a few years later to Rus, began to found cave monasteries - in Bukovyna, Kyiv and Chernihiv region.

He went to Chernihiv after a conflict with the Kiev prince, and spent the last years of his life in his homeland - in Lyubech, where he founded his last cave monastery. Antoniy's Monastery existed until 1786, when it was closed by order of Empress Catherine II.

The Far Cave, located in the forest on the southern outskirts of the village, has been preserved in its original form.

Recently, the cave was discovered in the center of the village, next to the Polubotko tenement house (excavations are underway).

The art space "Fabrychna, 12" was founded in Chernihiv in 2024 by Yevhen Filatov and the frontman of the ONUKA band Nata Zhyzhchenko in order to popularize and preserve, rethink and modernize the unique cultural heritage of the region.

The modern ethnographic music space was founded in the old family house of Nata Zhyzhchenko, built in 1904, which was carefully restored by her and Yevhen. The house preserved a unique workshop-laboratory, where the singer's grandfather, a famous master of folk instruments, musician and researcher of Ukrainian culture from Chernihiv, Honored People's Master of Ukraine and Moldova Oleksandr Shlonchyk, not only crafted, but also researched the history and technologies of creating musical instruments of different peoples.

The workshop-laboratory "Fabrychna, 12" combines educational, artistic and ethnographic components. Nata Zhyzhchenko plans to organize both virtual and offline events here, meetings with stars, artists, and lecturers on various topics. Other areas of the project include master classes in woodworking and pottery, as well as the preservation and restoration of folk instruments.

Assumption Church

Temple , Architecture

The small brick Assumption Church of the so-called diocesan architecture is the "youngest" in Sedniv. Located on a hill on the outskirts of the village.

The temple was built in 1860. Then throughout the Russian Empire old wooden churches were replaced by stone structures. The basis was "exemplary" (tested) projects, which diocesan architects adapted to a specific place. Decorative elements of Russian architecture of the XIV-XVI centuries were used to decorate these temples. Such is the Assumption Church in Sedniv.

On the western side there is a tented belfry. In the post-war period, it was the only active church in the entire district.

Assumption of Holy Virgin Church

Temple , Architecture

The wooden Church of the Assumption of the Holy Virgin Mary in Voloskivtsi was built in 1765 next to the ancient castle.

Forms are characteristic of Ukrainian Baroque architecture. The temple is cruciform in plan, at the intersection of four high lateral log cabins, an octagonal top is placed. The sides of the sleeves have a pronounced slope towards the center of the structure. In this way, the masters strengthened the perspective and created the illusion of a higher building.

From the western side, the temple is combined with a three-tiered wooden bell tower, added in the middle of the 19th century.

The Church of the Assumption in Voloskivtsi is an architectural monument of national importance.
