Attractions of Netishyn

Netishyn City Museum of Local Lore was founded in 1994.

The exposition of the museum is located in the annex to the first floor of a residential building near the city center and is represented by eighteen exhibition halls, which reflect the main directions of history, ethnography, nature of the region.

The Archeology Hall exhibits materials of the Acheulean epoch from the Paleolithic site on the Spivak hamlet and finds from the burial mounds of the East Bronze Age Bronze Age culture from the Kozatsky Mohyly tract near Netishyn.

In the ethnographic exposition you can see household items, clothes, tools, utensils of different eras. Weaving, cooperage, pottery and weaving from elastic raw materials are presented in the halls of handicrafts and crafts.

Some halls of the museum bring visitors closer to the history of the villages of Netishyn and Dorohoshcha, which reaches deep into the XVI-XVII salt marshes. Here is exhibited one of the first known maps of the Netishyn farm from 1813.

The hall of the same name tells about the recent past of the city of Netishyn and Khmelnitsky NPP, in the center of which is a model of a WWER-1000 nuclear power unit operated at KhNPP.

The exposition is completed by the numismatics and bonistics halls, which reflect the general history of the region's money circulation.

The water mill was built in Netishyn in 1905 on the site of an old wooden mill, built without a single nail, which burned down at the beginning of the 20th century.

Cement for its construction was produced in the village of Siltse. The strength of the cement was phenomenal. The mill milled up to seven varieties of flour, which was exported to Germany until 1917.

In the 1930s, a hydroelectric power station began operating in the complex with the mill, which resumed its activity in the post-war period. In 1972, the mill was closed due to a lack of grain. All equipment was dismantled and taken away. The premises of the mill were originally supposed to be converted into a dormitory for the builders of the Burshtyn HRES, but the work was stopped due to fire safety conditions. The mill has been empty since then.

Currently, the water mill in Netishyn has been bought by a local entrepreneur and is renting out separate premises.
