Attractions of Koriukivka district

The wooden building of the Railwaymen's club in the city of Snovsk was built in 1927 by master Leonid Veselov, who also built a railway station, a bridge and a church in the city.

The Snovsk railwaymen's club served as the scenery of the railway station during the filming of the Russian TV series "Heavy Sand", part of which takes place in pre-revolutionary Snovsk.

The wooden Saint Michael's Church in Horodyshche belongs to the so-called eparchial style, standardized, somewhat dry and rationalistic.

Located on a hill above the river in the center of the village.

Single-domed, nave in plan, with right angles and pointed details. A characteristic example of the same type of eclectic provincial architecture.

The Snovsk Historical Museum was opened in 1939 as a memorial museum of Mykola Shchors in the house where the future Red Commander, whose image was heroized in Soviet literature and cinema, spent his childhood and youth.

Shchors was born in 1895 in the village of Korzhivka in Chernihiv Region (now the city of Snovsk) in the family of a railway mechanic. Currently, the exposition of the home furnishings and personal belongings of the Shchors family, located in their wooden house built in 1894, is the memorial department of the Snovsk Historical Museum and presents the life of the railway worker's family at the end of the 19th century.

In 1961, the historical department of the museum was opened in a separate building with a local history exposition from ancient times to modern history. The exposition presents objects that tell about the first human settlements on the territory of the region, folk crafts and crafts, ethnographic features of the area. The decoration of the exhibition is a collection of towels from the Snovsk district and samples of regional costumes.

The museum also exhibits archaeological finds: objects of labor, remains of ancient animals, ceramic and glass products, Cossack cradles, railway products made at medieval mines, historical and household items of the late 19th - early 20th centuries.

The Church of the Transfiguration in Kyriivka was built in 1904 in the classical style of the monumental wooden architecture of Ukraine at the beginning of the 20th century.

The single-domed temple stands on a stone foundation, the three-tiered belfry is attached to the nave and topped with a tent with a lantern and an onion crown. The height of the bell tower to the top of the cross is approximately 25 meters.

The church is bright because it has 19 large rectangular two-meter windows in the lower part and 8 of the same windows on the dome. The log house is made of oak and pine beams. The outer walls are sheathed with boards facing each other: below the level of the windows - vertically, above - horizontally.

There are similar temples in the villages of Kobyzhcha and Ploske, Chernihiv region.
