Attractions of Krasyliv

The Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Krasyliv was founded in 1820 at the expense of Colonel Mykola Sapyeha. Decorated at the expense of Kostyantyn Chorba.

The temple was built in a classical style, its facade was decorated with semi-columns.

In 1921, the last rector of the parish, Father Kazymyr Mazur, was shot by the Bolsheviks in front of the church.

During the Soviet period, the shrine was closed (except for a few years during the Second World War), the building first housed a warehouse, then the House of Pioneers.

In 1990, the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Krasyliv was transferred to the monastery of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchins.

In the square in front of the church there is a memorial to those who died during the Second World War.

The estate in Krasyliv belonged to the Polish princely family of Sapieha since 1753, when Prince Ihnatsiy Sapieha, voivode of Mstyslavskyi, received Krasyliv with 30 other towns and villages as a result of the "Kolbushev Transaction" - a division of the Ostroh Ordinance.

At the beginning of the 19th century, Mykola Sapieha built a palace in Krasyliv in the style of classicism. During Soviet times, the building was rebuilt beyond recognition. The facade facing the park has been relatively preserved.

Today, the former Sapieha Palace houses the Krasyliv Vocational Lyceum.
