Attractions of Zolochiv district

The church-fortress of Saint Nicholas was built in Zolochiv on the line of defensive ramparts in the 16th century and played an important role in the system of city fortifications.

Even after further reconstructions, it did not lose its characteristic features of defensive architecture. Thick walls are reinforced with buttresses, strict side facades have narrow loophole window openings.

After the restoration in 1765, the west facade was enlivened with a Baroque pediment with decorative vases and a small balcony with carved stone consoles in the Rococo style.

The Church of Saint Nicholas in Busk was founded in 1914 on the site of an old wooden church.

The project was developed by the famous architect Yevhen Nahirnyi. Construction was carried out at the expense of the Busk Orthodox community until 1938.

In Soviet times, the Saint Nicholas Church was the only active church in the city, but during the reconstruction the church lost its original appearance. In particular, the domes were replaced by simple tent roofs, and all decorative details were removed from the walls. Currently, it is planned to recreate the temple in its original form.

Belongs to the religious community of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.

The wooden church of Saint Onuphrius is located in the western suburb of Busk, in Volyany.

The church is hidden behind the ancient ramparts of the Busk hillfort, the southern rampart of which descends rapidly to the tributary of the Buh - the Rokytna River.

The Saint Onuphrius Church was built in 1642 (according to another version, it was built in 1670 on the site of the Basilian monastery burned by the Cossacks in 1654).

The church is three-log, one-story. The entrances to the temple are protected by gable roofs resting on wooden pillars. On the pediment of the main entrance, decorated with an embroidered towel, hangs the image of Saint Onuphrius with a long beard. The two-story bell tower is located to the west of the church, at the place where the ramparts break.

In 1864, an original chapel appeared at the church in the hollow of a thousand-year-old oak, which was 6 meters in girth. The trunk cut from above is covered with a roof. The chapel stands near the entrance to the church cemetery, its walls are fastened with an iron hoop.

The wooden church of Saint Paraskeva in Busk is an architectural monument of national significance.

The church is located on the eastern outskirts of the city, in the suburb of Dovha storona.

The rotunda church has an original barrel-shaped shape. The octagonal volume of the nave clearly dominates the faceted altar. The inscription above the door indicates that the temple was built in 1708. At the church of Saint Paraskeva, there was a brotherhood with a school and a hospital.

Near the church was a presbytery in which lived the family of the president of the West Ukrainian People's Republic Yevhen Petrushevych, whose father was the dean of this church. It was under his leadership that a school was built next to the temple.

The Catholic Church of Saint Stanislav in Busk was built in 1768-1780 on the site of the old wooden parish church, which was burned by the Cossacks during the Liberation War.

The land plot and part of the funds for the construction were allocated by the Polish king Stanislav Augustus. The building in the Baroque style was designed according to one of the typical projects developed earlier by the famous European architect Bernard Meretin (similar churches have been preserved in Berezovtsi and Lopatyna). The church had four side altars: Saint Stanislav, Saint John Nepomuk, the Blessed Virgin Mary Immaculate and Saint Anthony of Padua. In the main altar there was a sculpture representing the Holy Trinity and a miraculous image of the Mother of God of the Holy Rosary. In 1608, Yuriy Vyshnevetsky presented this image to the Dominican church in Busk, after its closure, the icon was moved to the parish church.

In 1944-1946, the Church of Saint Stanislaus was closed, and a film library was placed in the building. Divine services resumed in 1991.

An elegant palace in the English style was built in Brody in 1909 by Countess Tyshkevych.

The Tyshkevych Palace is located in the suburb of Stari Brody, on the shore of a picturesque pond. A small two-story building with a colonnade is richly decorated with stucco. The interiors were not preserved.

Currently, the Brody State Forestry Farm is located here, which keeps the building and territory in order.
