Attractions of Baranivka

"Baranivka" porcelain factory was opened in 1802 by the entrepreneur Mykhaylo Mezer, having bought the land for it from the Lyubomyrsky-Valevskyi magnates.

The raw material was clay mined nearby. The dishes made at the factory decorated the palaces of nobles and emperors.

Having changed several owners, the Baranivka porcelain factory continued to operate in Soviet times and remained the country's leading enterprise of this profile until the early 2000s. Currently, the enterprise is not working, but private mini-factories for the production of porcelain are operating in the city.

Since 1952, a museum has been operating at the Baranivka factory, which exhibits samples of products whose age exceeds one hundred years.

The Baranivka People's Museum of History and Local Lore is located in the premises of the Anatoly Pashkevych city cultural center.

Stone tools, pottery, antique household items, clothes, shoes, furniture, stove, women's jewelry are presented.

The second exhibition highlights the fate of Baranivka residents during the Holodomor, repressions and World War II. Also in the museum you can find out how the fates of Lesya Ukrainka, Anatoliy Pashkevych, Ivan Stepanyuk and other prominent Ukrainians are connected with Baranivka.

The exhibition "Forever in our hearts" tells about the modern heroes of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

The museum premises are partially adapted for the needs of visitors with reduced mobility.

The Roman Catholic Church of Saint Stanislav Kostka was built in the city of Baranivka thanks to the efforts of the future bishop Father Stanislav Shyrokoradyuk.
