Attractions of Bohodukhiv district

The Museum of the Century History of the Sharivka Settlement from 2018 is located in the building of the manager of the Sharivka estate, sugar breeder Leopold Koenig.

The two-storey brick house was built in 1910 according to the project of architect Jacobi on the territory of the farmyard of the Koenig estate.

The museum exposition is created by enthusiasts on a voluntary basis.

"Singing Terraces" is the name given to an orchard with an unusual layout in the form of a huge amphitheater, which was laid on the banks of the Merla River in the 19th century by the famous sugar factory Ivan Kharytonenko.

The local climatic conditions did not allow exotic varieties of trees to be grown here, but an original solution was found. Six south-facing terraces were built on the slope of the stream, which were illuminated by the sun throughout the day. The stone masonry itself also accumulated heat, which made it possible to grow southern fruit trees here.

The amphitheater garden in Horodnie has another feature – unique acoustics. Even quiet sounds can be heard at a distance of up to 60 meters. According to legend, the famous bassist Fedir Shalyapin gave a concert here. In windy weather, one gets the impression that the terraces themselves emit melodious sounds, which is why they were nicknamed "Singing Terraces".
