Mykhaylo Maksymovych Estate

Park / garden

Park of the Maksymovych Estate, founded in the 18th century on Mykhaylova Hill above the Dnipro.

Since 1845, after he retired, the outstanding Ukrainian scientist, folklorist, the first rector of Saint Volodymyr Kyiv University Mykhaylo Maksymovych lived here for 30 years.

Mykola Hohol visited Maksymovych on several occasions. According to legend, this is where the writer collected material for the story "Viy" (however, the story was written in 1834 - before Maksymovych settled in Prokhorivka). The Hohol pine grows in the park.

Shevchenko also visited Prokhorivka, painting portraits of the owners of the estate. In 1859, the poet was arrested on the way to Mykhaylova Hill, and since then he has not returned to Ukraine. The Shevchenko oak has been preserved, a memorial sign has been installed on the bank of the river, and the creation of a memorial complex is planned.

Now this is the territory of the "Zhovten" sanatorium and the "Prokhorivka" holiday home, the entrance is free.
