Attractions of Chernivtsi district

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 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.

Since 2004, the Literary and Memorial Museum of the outstanding writer Yuriy Fedkovych has been located in Chernivtsi in the building where he spent the last years of his life at the end of the 19th century and also edited the Bukovyna newspaper.

In the memorial room, the interior of the newspaper editorial office, Fedkovych's workplace, is reproduced. The room-apartment presents the writer's personal belongings, his desk-bureau, early editions of outstanding works of art, musical instruments, and household items.

In the literary exhibition of the museum, the life and creative path of Yuriy Fedkovych, as well as the public and pedagogical activities of the writer, are widely covered.
