Attractions of Zalizniachka

The local lore museum of the village of Zalizniachka was opened in 2024 in the premises of the Zalizniachka village library, a branch of the Yerky public central library.

The exposition presents a model of a traditional stove with all the necessary remains, ceramic pots, mugs and bowls, ancient items of folk use, pots and tubs, embroidered shirts, towels and pillows, paintings by folk artists. All these things are collected for the indifferent inhabitants of the village.

The wooden church of Saint Demetrius in the village of Zalizniachka near Yerky was built in 1773 and has survived to this day with some reconstructions.

The church is cruciform in plan, single-headed, with an octagonal central log, made of hewn oak beams. The composition of the building is dominated by the central volume, completed by a flat tent top on a drum. All facades are topped with triangular pediments. In the interior, the side branches are subordinate to the height-opened central volume and are connected to it by arches-cutouts.

The Saint Demetrius Church is considered a unique work of folk wooden architecture of the Right Bank, but the last reconstruction deprived it of its authentic appearance - the church was plastered with a cement "fur coat", dismantling part of the wooden frame.
