Attractions of Chaplynka

The Church of the Assumption of the Mother of God in Chaplynka was founded in the 19th century at the expense of a local landowner.

In 1933, the temple was closed, and after the Second World War it was destroyed.

The Church of the Assumption was restored only in 1993 at the expense of Mykola Suprun, a native of the neighboring village of Poradivka, the husband of People's Deputy Lyudmyla Suprun.

Burty Hillfort is located 1 kilometer north of Chaplynka village. Earthen ramparts 10-12 meters high surround the territory of 1.9 hectares.

Traditionally, "Burty" is attributed to Scythian times (VI-VII centuries BC), however, recent research has revealed burials of the Bronze Age (2-3 millennia BC) in the center of the settlement.

In Cossack times, the ramparts were used as fortifications by the troops of Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytskyi, then Colonel Semen Paliy. The "Black Path" of Tatar raids passed 8 kilometers to the northeast of "Burtiv". During the Korsun-Shevchenkskyi battle (World War II), German troops placed an artillery battery here, but they did not last long. At that time, the settlement occupied up to 12 hectares.

In the 1960s and 1970s, "Burty" was intensively plowed. Today, it is a monument not only of archeology, but also of nature, as representatives of the "Red Book of Ukraine" can be found among the local vegetation.
