Attractions of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi district

The Tuzlivsky Lymany National Nature Park (Tuzlivsky Estuaries) was established in 2010 with the aim of preserving valuable natural, historical and cultural complexes and sites of the Northern Black Sea Region.

The nature reserve of the park is located in the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi district of the Odesa region in the basin of the Tuzlivska group of estuaries. It covers an area of ​​27,865 hectares, on which there are 13 sea estuaries, 44 kilometers of sea coast and 1 million migratory birds.

The territory of the Tuzlivsky Lymany National Nature Park is characterized by diverse floodplain landscapes, specific flora and fauna. Species of plants and animals listed in the Red Book of Ukraine, the Red Book of the Black Sea, the Red List of the Odesa region and the European Red List grow here. In the park you can see almost 300 species of birds, about 60 species of fish live in local reservoirs, 37 species of mammals are represented.

For some birds, the Tuzlivsky Lymany are a kind of "transit station" on the way to Asia and Africa, some nest and winter directly in the estuaries. This is one of the best places for birdwatching, recreation on the Black Sea coast, and treatment with mud from the estuaries.

The territory of the Tuzlivsky Lymany park is part of the controlled border area. In the summer of 2022, the park suffered from fires due to shelling by the Russian military during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. Before the deoccupation of Zmiyiniy Island by Ukrainian defenders in early July 2022, the sea carried the bodies of dead dolphins to the coastal zone of the park. Ivan Rusev, head of the research department of the Tuzlivsky Lymany National Nature Park, estimates that the Russians have killed over 50,000 dolphins. Small mammals, birds of the park, and migratory birds are suffering from Russian aggression.

The mansion of Honorary Justice of the Peace Aloiziy Yaroshevych was built in 1890 in the center of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi according to the project of the architect Yevhen Yermakov in the spirit of neo-romanticism with a predominance of the Moorish style.

At the moment, the building is in a state of disrepair, and the local authorities cannot decide who owns it and what to do with it. Meanwhile, the most beautiful architectural monument is being destroyed.

The building of the poviat zemstvo administration with a square and a fence is one of the most interesting architectural monuments of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi.

It was built in 1905 according to the typical project of "model" buildings, which were developed during this period by St. Petersburg architects. Volodymyr Puryshkevych , the future murderer of Rasputin, was the head of the Zemstvo administration at that time.

Currently, it is the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi Vocational College of Nature Management, Construction and Computer Technologies.
