Attractions of Moshny

The Roman Catholic church in Moshny was built in the 1850s at the expense of Yelyzaveta Vorontsova, the widow of Count Mykhaylo Vorontsov.

During Soviet times, the temple was closed. Until now, the building is used as one of the production buildings of the mill.

The wooden one-story doctor's house in Moshny was built at the end of the 19th century according to the design of the famous Kyiv architect Vladyslav Horodetsky. This is the only wooden building by Gorodetsky that has survived in the world.

Vladyslav Horodetsky often visited the Moshny estate of the Balashov landowners, and also carried out various architectural orders for them. During one of his visits, the owner of the estate, Kateryna Balashova (Shuvalova), asked the architect to design a complex of buildings for the village district hospital.

Only one building has survived in its original form, which served as housing for the village doctor. It is made in the Scandinavian style and richly decorated with carvings in the Ancent Rus style with elements of Ukrainian Art Nouveau. Some interior elements have been preserved to this day, in particular authentic stoves and a fireplace.

Until recently, the building, as in the past, housed apartments for local medical workers. Nearby you can see another wooden house that serves as one of the hospital buildings.

In 2025, the local hromada, with the participation of the team of the NGO "Nova Druzhkivka", opened the cultural and artistic center "Horodetsky" in the Doctor's House. This is a modern multifunctional space that combines history and new initiatives. It houses the Center for Joint Creativity for learning, cultural events and gatherings, and there are areas for small group work and creative meetings.

In the future, it is planned to create a museum dedicated to the legacy of the architect Gorodetsky, as well as the history of the hromada.

The architecturally unusual Church of the Transfiguration was built in Moshny in 1830-1840 by the city architect of Odesa, Dzhordzho Torrichelli, on the order of Count Mykhaylo Vorontsov.

Those who have seen the Vorontsov Palace in Alupka will immediately understand the architectural affinity of the Crimean palace and the village Orthodox church. Experts define this style as a romantic mixture of Tudor Gothic and oriental motifs.

The Transfiguration Church is a unique temple. Despite the oriental decor, the construction followed the principles of the Orthodox "cross dome". The side branches of the cross are greatly shortened, and the central one, on the contrary, is elongated. According to the fashion of the 19th century, it connects the temple with the 39-meter bell tower into a single entity. Above the central cross is the largest dome facing east. The special charm of the building is given by numerous elegant towers, which, together with the pointed windows, make the tall quadrangular belfry Gothic.

Taras Shevchenko Museum was opened in 2014 on the territory of the Nahanovsky inn in the village of Moshny, where Shevchenko lived for a few days after his release from arrest in 1859, during his third (and last) trip to Ukraine.

A residential building has been preserved from the inn, where the main exhibition of the museum was located. In 2013, before the opening of the museum, the building underwent major repairs, the roof was covered, and the concrete foundation was poured. But all the walls, thresholds, ceilings and the stove with a couch remained original. The layout of the house has also been preserved. In the rooms, original furniture of the 19th century, household utensils, embroidered towels, icons are displayed.

All buildings in the yard of the former inn are reproduced according to descriptions and drawings.
