Attractions of Syniava

The Cossack Church of Saint Nicholas in Syniava is one of the oldest wooden churches in the Kyiv region, the only five-bay wooden church in the Dnipro region. The previous Syniava church existed since 1649, but was burned by the Tatars in 1711.

The new church of Saint Nicholas, five-log, five-bay, cruciform in plan, was built in 1730, using the preserved central and side logs of the 17th century. Extremely massive oak logs served as foundations.

In the interior, the abundance of plastic is enhanced by several carved brackets that protrude from the plane of the wall, and wedges that fasten the upper frames of the side extensions to the central frame.

The Saint Nicholas Church in Syniava is considered one of the brightest examples of sacred wooden architecture in the Dnipro region. An architectural monument of national importance.

The water mill in the village of Syniava in the Kyiv region was built in the middle of the 19th century, when the village was owned by Count Oleksandr Branytskyi. At the same time, a sugar factory was built in the village. In 1904, the mill was rebuilt, significantly increasing in size.

The four-story brick building of the mill is located next to the dam near the threshold on the Ros River. An architectural monument of local importance.

In 2015, the Stary Mlyn hotel and restaurant complex opened in the reconstructed building.
