Attractions of Buzova

The ethnographic complex "Ukrainian village" is located on the edge of the forest near the village of Buzova in the Kyiv region.

It is a "living museum", where authentic buildings are combined with interactive attractions. The open-air exposition presents traditional residential and commercial buildings from various historical and ethnographic zones of Ukraine.

Visitors are greeted by the active church of Saint Demetrius of Thessalonica, from which the creation of the complex began. During the tour, you can view the authentic interiors of six ancient houses, transported from different regions of Ukraine: Hutsul region, South, Podillya, Polissya, Middle Dnipro region and Slobozhansky region. And also visit a pottery workshop, a forge and a distillery, a bakery, etc.

A mini-zoo with domestic animals: sheep, piglets, rabbits attracts special attention of children. All animals can be fed by buying feed from the gift shop. There you can buy various products made of natural materials.

For recreation, as well as holding holidays and corporate events, there are gazebos with barbecues on the pond, a dining room for 130 people, a conference hall, and a hotel. Ethno-trainings are held upon prior request.

The wooden temple of the holy Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica is the central building of the ethnographic complex "Ukrainian Village".

The temple was founded at the expense of People's Deputy Volodymyr Bondarenko at the place where in 2004 an unsuccessful attempt was made on him - his car was pelted with bottles with a flammable mixture. Construction was completed in 2007.

The temple is built from a cylindrical log in the form of an octagonal rotunda. The interior is decorated with a carved iconostasis in the Ukrainian Baroque style. There is a parish school at the church.
