Attractions of Chernivtsi district

The palace of the Shymonovych barons in Dubivtsi was built in 1914. A small two-story manor house of light green color, designed in the Art Nouveau style.

In Soviet times, a village club was located here. Today, it is the building of the Dubivtsi Rural Council. Only a pond and a few old trees remind of the manor park.

The palace of the landowners Skybinetskyi (Skybnivsky) in Hlyboka is the most interesting architectural monument of this small Bukovyna town, although it has survived to our days in a rebuilt form.

The palace was founded in the 19th century (according to other sources, at the beginning of the 20th century) by the Polish tycoon Bronyslav Skybinetskyi, who moved to Hlyboka from the family estate in Dunaivtsi in 1874.

The complex-shaped three-story structure, after numerous reconstructions, now looks like an ordinary administrative building. Currently, it houses the children's department of the central district hospital.

The Storozhynets City Hall was built in 1905.

It is considered the second highest in Bukovyna after Chernivtsi.

The main architectural element of the city hall is a two-story clock tower with an observation deck, where steep stairs lead.

As before, the town hall building is a symbol of local self-government in Storozhynets - it houses the city council.

The Museum of TV and Radio Technics was opened in 2024 by the "Suspilne Chernivtsi" branch of the National Public Broadcasting Company of Ukraine (NPBU) for the centenary of Ukrainian Radio. It is dedicated to the history of radio and television in Bukovyna.

The exposition of the museum consists of several blocks, divided into different periods of development of television and radio. Presented are studio cameras and film cameras for on-site filming, editing tables and tape recorders used by Chernivtsi television broadcasters from the 1960s to the 2000s. In the photos, you can see moments of the work process of creating TV programs, local TV presenters of different times, journalists, operators, participants and guests of TV programs.

One of the main exhibits is the grand piano, on which Volodymyr Ivasyuk performed his first works for recording phonograms. It was under him that the first recordings of "Chervona Ruta" and "Vodohray" were made.

In order to visit the museum, it is necessary to sign up for tours in advance via e-mail.

The building of the Ukrainian People's House in Chernivtsi has been a center of national culture for over a hundred years.

The date 1884 is indicated on the facade - the year of foundation of the Ukrainian society "People's House". A two-story building was built for it in 1899.

The Ukrainian community in Chernivtsi has always been one of the largest. By the end of the 19th century it was inferior in number only to the Jewish one. Before the First World War, an active process of revival of the Ukrainian language and the national identity of Bukovyna Ruthenians, who recognized themselves as Ukrainians, took place in the city.

In the premises of the People's House, Ukrainian societies operated, periodicals were published, solemn events and meetings with outstanding figures of Ukrainian culture were held. Lesya Ukrayinka, Mykhaylo Hrushevsky, Ivan Franko and others performed here.

Now the building also belongs to the "Ukrainian People's House in Chernivtsi" society.

The Valiava Museum of Village History was opened in 1985 on the initiative of the writer Vasyl Kishkan. The museum is located on the second floor of the administrative building, next to the school.

The exposition of the first hall of the museum highlights the most ancient times in the history of the village of Valiava. The materials of the second hall are dedicated to the daily life of the local population - tools, everyday and festive clothes are presented. Separate materials tell about the construction of the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the village (1778).

The third hall tells about the events of World War II, on the fronts of which 123 villagers died. The exposition of the fourth hall is dedicated to the post-war period, the development of the village in 1970-1980.

Separately, materials are presented about the school principal, the founder of the museum Vasyl Kishkan (1929-1992) and his novels "Black Crows" and "Cold Winds".

The viewing platform in the village of Khreshchatyk is located on a high cliff above the Dniester, from which the most fascinating panorama of the city of Zalishchyky, located on the opposite bank, girdled by a steep bend of the river, opens.

From here, the road bridge over the Dniester and the domes of the Khreshchatyk Monastery can be clearly seen.

The observation deck is not equipped.

Memorial Museum of the outstanding Ukrainian composer Volodymyr Ivasyuk, the founder of Ukrainian pop music, the author of the popular songs "Chervona Ruta" and "Vodohray".

The museum was opened in Chernivtsi in 1995 to mark the 25th anniversary of the song "Chervona Ruta" in the house of the composer's parents, where he lived in 1971-1972. The interiors of the office of Volodymyr Ivasyuk and his father, the writer Mykhaylo Ivasyuk, and the parents' room have been preserved.
