Attractions of Khorol

The Holy Assumption Cathedral in Khorol was founded in 1802 at the expense of the merchant Chebotaryov.

Destroyed by the Bolsheviks in 1934. The revival began in 2002. Now the temple has been rebuilt. It belongs to the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate.

The first folk museum of local lore was organized in Khorol by ethnographer Volodymyr Biryukov back in 1917, but it was closed in the 1930s.

The current exposition has been operating since 1995 and is housed in a historical building of the beginning of the 20th century, which is an architectural monument of local importance.

The nature department presents a diorama, stuffed animals, and geological samples.

The archaeological collection includes ancient weapons, ceramics, and stone tools.

In the department of ethnography, the interior of a village house is recreated, folk costumes and household items are exhibited.

A diorama of the "Khorol Yama" death camp is on display.

The memorial to the victims of the "Khorol Yama" concentration camp was created in 1991 in the former Khorol suburb of Dubky, where a German concentration camp for prisoners of war existed from 1941 to 1943.

The death camp was located near the quarry of the brick factory. Only in the first six months of its existence, more than 37,000 people died. In total, the ashes of about 91,000 residents of Khorol and other cities of Ukraine, soldiers, officers and partisans lie in six of the mass graves known to date.
