Attractions of Kremenets district

The palace in the English Neo-Gothic style was built in Bilokrynytsia by the landowner Chosnovsky in the middle of the 19th century on the site of a defensive castle founded in the 16th by the Zbarazsky princes.

The first wooden castle was burned by the Tatars, after which Yuriy Zbarazky rebuilt it in stone (ancient cellars, earthen ramparts and one bastion have been preserved). At the beginning of the 19th century, the castle completely burned down. Landlord Chosnovsky, having bought Bilokrynytsia from the Radzyvill, reconstructed one of the parts of the castle into a ceremonial residence.

The last owner of the palace was an official of the Kyiv Governor-General, a secret adviser, Count Oleksandr Voronin. After Voronin's death, according to his will, the Bilokrynytsia Palace was transferred to the agricultural school. Now it is the Kremenets Forestry College.

A small museum of the history of Bilokrynytsia, the college and the palace itself has been opened in the premises of the college dormitory.

The Yuliush Slovatsky Literary Memorial Museum was opened in Kremenets in the estate of Yanushevsky (the poet's grandfather), where he spent his childhood in 1814-1828.

Slowacki is one of the most famous Polish poets of the Romantic period. He was born and lived in Kremenets for many years, and then repeatedly praised his hometown in his works. Many objects in the city are connected with the name of Slovatsky: his native house, the lyceum to which his father taught, his mother's grave in the Tunytsky cemetery.

The museum exposition is located in eight rooms, each of which reflects a certain stage of the poet's creative path. The museum has 1,500 exhibits. Since 2004, the museum has had an extensive exposition "The Hour of Thought of Yuliush Slovatsky".
