Attractions of Slavuta

A creative bus stop forged from iron was installed in Slavuta in 2012 for Spring Day. The author of the work is Artem Volsky.

The sculpture represents two images of a woman: spring and autumn, which can be interpreted as symbols of female beauty and wisdom.

The international memorial complex "Field of Memory" was created in 1997-2007 near Slavuta, where the German camp for prisoners of war "Stalag 301/Z" was located during the Second World War.

In terrible conditions, wounded and sick officers and soldiers of the Red Army were kept there, who, in fact, were doomed to death from exhaustion and disease. The number of dead is estimated at 150,000 people.

Currently, the cemetery of the dead prisoners of war has been cleared and arranged, a mound has been filled on it and a monument has been erected. A monument to the victims of the Jewish concentration camp is located near the complex.

The Church of the Nativity of the Holy Virgin Mary in Slavuta was built in 1819 at the expense of the parishioners and with the participation of Prince Yevstakhiy Sangushko.

Made in the Ukrainian Baroque style, painted in the image of the Saint Volodymyr Cathedral in Kyiv.

Later, the Church of the Nativity of the Holy Virgin Mary was expanded, a priest's house, a psalmist's house, and a prosphora were built nearby.

The Saint Dorothy Roman Catholic Church in the city of Slavuta was built in 1825. It is considered an exact copy of the Parisian Church of St. Eustace.

The temple was built as a family tomb of the Sanguszko princes, who had a residence in Slavuta. The foundation was laid in 1822 by Eustachius Sanguszko, and the construction was completed by Roman Sanguszko. The construction work was supervised by the Slavuta architect Brunak. In 1848, the church became a parish church.

In 1946, the church was closed by the communist authorities and converted into a salt warehouse. Only in 1990 was it returned to the Catholic community of Slavuta and restored.

The Saint Dorothy Church is located in the territory of the Slavuta city park, laid in the 18th century by the famous park architect Dionysius Mikler. Here was located the Sanguszko Castle, of which only some outbuildings remain.

A complex of Shopping Arcades with a stone town hall building was built in Slavuta at the end of the 18th century. It was located in the center of the then market square (now Taras Shevchenko Square) and had the shape of an elongated horseshoe.

Nowadays, the market square is built up, but the Shopping Arcades and town hall have survived, albeit in a severely distorted form. Despite the status of a cultural heritage monument of national importance, the complex was partially rebuilt and is still used as a warehouse for a trade organization.

Next to the remains of the Shopping Arcades, a miniature bronze copy of their work by sculptor Kostyantyn Saposhka is installed, who recreated the building in its original form.

In the basements of the Shopping Arcades, the "Dungeons of the Old Market" exhibition opened in 2025, which became a department of the Slavuta Historical Museum. Visitors can see stylized shops filled with goods, archival photos, documents, and other museum items. Multimedia technologies help to feel the atmosphere of ancient times.

The Slavuta Historical Museum was founded in 1967 as a national museum. Then the exposition was devoted to the partisan movement.

The current original two-story building was built for the museum in 1985. Several archaeological finds were presented, and an exposition dedicated to the princely family of Sanhushko was opened.

A large exposition covers the period of the Second World War. In particular, materials about the Holodomor, repressions and deportations of the 1930s are presented.

In 2025, a new exhibition, The Dungeons of the Old Market, opened in the basement of the old shopping arcades a few blocks from the museum.

The bench on the embankment of the pond on the Utka River in Slavuta, along the Third Dam, has had the title of the longest bench in Ukraine since 2012.

Its length is 213 meters and 12 centimeters. 1,000 schoolchildren were able to sit on it at the same time. They painted part of it with different patterns.

Previously, the "Family Bench" on the Dnipro embankment was considered the longest in Ukraine.
