Attractions of Lysianka

The historical-ethnographic complex "Tarasova Krynytsya" was created in Lysianka in 2007-2008 as part of the "Golden Horseshoe of Cherkasy region" program.

The future poet and artist Taras Shevchenko visited Lysyanka at a young age, when he fled here from Kerelyvka to learn painting from the local count Yukhym. At this place there was a well from which little Taras carried water to his school.

Now the complex is in desolation.

The Lysianka Historical Museum was created in 1967, and in 1992 it was granted state status.

The exposition, which is spread over 5 halls, tells about all periods of the history of the Lysianka region. In the first hall, archeology, prehistory, Trypillya culture, princely era, Cossacks are presented.

In the following halls, you can familiarize yourself with the events of the 18th-20th centuries, collectivization and the Holodomor, the Second World War and modern times.

Ethnographic collection, numismatics, products of local craftsmen, valuable historical collections are presented.

Saint Michael's Orthodox Church was founded in Lysianka in 1723 and rebuilt in the second half of the 19th century.

In Soviet times, the large stone temple was closed, and in the late 1970s it was completely destroyed. In 2000, a new five-domed Saint Michael's Church was built in its place. Next to the church stands the priest's house, decorated with a huge painting.
