Attractions of Talne

The romantic palace-castle of the Naryshkin-Shuvalov Counts in the town of Talne is one of the most interesting palaces of the Cherkasy region, an architectural monument of national significance at the beginning of the 20th century.

The manor in Talny was established back in 1725 by Count Frantsishek Saleziy Potocki, but it reached its greatest prosperity under Petro Shuvalov. It was he who in 1902-1907 built a two-story palace in the form of French hunting castles of the Renaissance era according to the project of the famous Danish architect Andreas Klemmensen. The coat of arms with a unicorn adorns the main facade of the building.

Shuvalov was married to Sofiya Naryshkina, daughter of Count Lev Naryshkin, who, in turn, received the estate as a dowry from his wife Olha Potoska, daughter of the famous Sofiya Potoska, in whose honor the Uman Park "Sofiyivka" was built. Tombstones from the graves of Sofiya, Petro and Pavlo Shuvalov have been preserved near the palace.

The palace is located in the middle of the English park "Talnivskyi" of the XVIII-XIX centuries, which is a monument of garden and park art of national importance. Separate buildings from the second half of the 19th century have been preserved on the territory of the manor: the foundations of the old palace, the basement of the old kitchen, a cellar, the gardener's and forester's houses, etc.

During Soviet times, the palace housed a museum of agriculture, as a large settlement of the Trypillia culture, which is considered the oldest agricultural culture in the world, was found on the territory of the city.

Since 2022, the palace and the park are under the management of the utility company "Talne Palace and Park Complex of the Shuvalovs". The palace has been undergoing long-term restoration for many years, and the creation of a museum is planned. Visits must be arranged with security.

The Church of Saint Anna in Talne was built in 1702 by the Potocki family, which owned the town in the 18th and 19th centuries.

During the Soviet rule, the church was closed, the building was used for household purposes.

In 1992, the shrine was returned to the Catholic community of the city, restored under the direction of the artist Kulahin.

The wonderful church in honor of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul is one of the most beautiful churches in the Cherkasy region.

The Peter and Paul Church was built in 2007 according to the project of architect Anatoliy Ditkovsky at the expense of patron Volodymyr Movchan.

Inside, there is a five-tiered iconostasis in the Ukrainian Baroque style. The church has seven domes, the belfry has 11 bells, the largest of which weighs 1,950 kilograms.

The entrance to the temple is decorated with bronze bas-reliefs of the holy apostles Peter and Paul, above which a mosaic image of the icon of the Holy Mother of God is installed.
