Attractions of Ichnia

The Ichnia Museum of Local Lore is located in a small one-story building near the city center.

Founded in 1961 by local historian Mykola Butko. 7,000 exhibits reflect the nature and history of the Ichnia region.

The original collection of samovars, tiles, icons and old prints deserves special attention. The museum presents the works of local artists and masters of decorative and applied art, including a unique selection of wood carvings by Anton Shtepa.

The Resurrection Church is located in the very center of Ichnia.

The construction of the church at the expense of the parishioners began in 1806, and after 4 years it was consecrated. The temple is cross-shaped, elongated (60 meters), with a wide middle dome. Inside - a gilded single-tiered iconostasis by master Kulahin. The walls and dome are decorated with frescoes.

In 1844, a two-story belfry was built, on which there was a bell weighing 4,272 kilograms, cast in Nizhyn.

Currently, the Church of the Resurrection belongs to the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate.

The Church of Saint Nicholas in Ichnia was built in 1879 according to a typical diocesan project in the so-called modern brick style.

During Soviet times, the church building was destroyed, but the bell tower was preserved - it was used as a fire station.

Since 2007, the Saint Nicholas church-bell tower belongs to the religious community of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.

The Savior and Transfiguration Church in Ichnia is located on the bank of a picturesque pond, where a wooden church stood as early as the 18th century.

In 1804, it burned down, and 7 years later, at the expense of the parishioners, a new stone Transfiguration Church with a bell tower and two domes was built in its place.

The wooden iconostasis was created in 1830, the icons are made in the style of Greek painting. The main shrine is a copy of the icon of the Rusty Mother of God.

The Transfiguration Church in Ichnia successfully survived the Soviet period and now belongs to the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate.
