Місто Васильків на річці Стугна розташоване в 20 кілометрах на північний захід від Києва по Одеській трасі.

У давньоруські часи тут, вздовж берегу Стугни, проходили Змієві вали, що перегороджували південні підступи до стародавнього Києва.

Місто Васильєв заснував у 988 році київський князь Володимир Великий, назвавши його своїм християнським ім'ям. Нинішню назву місто отримало в 1157 році, коли перейшло під владу Василька Юрійовича, сина Юрія Долгорукого. Місто було одним з ремісничо-торгових центрів Давньої Русі. Якийсь час - центром удільного князівства.

У Василькові народився Феодосій Печерський (близько 1036-1074 роки) - ігумен Києво-Печерського монастиря.

Ancient settlement Vasyliv

Historic area , Archaeological site

Fragments of the ancient Rus settlement Vasyliv earthworks have been preserved on the hill to the west of the Cathedral of Anthony and Theodosius.

The current city of Vasylkiv was founded in 988 by Prince Volodymyr the Great, who received the name Vasyl at baptism. The old name of the city Vasyliv (Vasylyev) comes from the Christian name of the prince. It was a well-fortified fortress with earthen ramparts and ditches, often used as a stronghold in times of strife. The city was destroyed by the Mongols in 1240. Remains of an ancient wooden temple and princely palace were found on the territory of the cub.

Later, the settlement of Vasyliv was included in the system of Cossack fortifications of the 16th and 17th centuries. The remains of ramparts can be traced throughout the city center. The best preserved is the rampart behind the cathedral, the crest of which can be climbed by stairs from the temple courtyard.

Chernihiv Regiment Headquarters

Museum / gallery , Architecture

The oldest administrative building of Vasylkiv is the County Present Place, built at the beginning of the 19th century. The headquarters of the Chernihiv regiment, which on January 10, 1826, joined the Decembrist uprising against the Russian autocracy and for the abolition of serfdom, was located here.

The uprising of the Chernihiv regiment, organized by the Southern Society of Decembrists, was led by lieutenant colonel Serhii Muravyov-Apostol and battalion commander Mykhailo Bestuzhev-Ryumin. The uprising was crushed within a week, and the organizers were later convicted and executed. A monument to the Decembrists was erected on the square opposite the building.

The building of the headquarters of the Chernihiv regiment is two-story, brick, plastered. The facade is typical of Russian classicism. The building was rebuilt several times. It housed the places of attendance, then the district police headquarters.

The local history department of the "Decembrists in Vasylkiv region" museum, which covered the activities of the Vasylkiv administration of the Southern Society (now under renovation), still worked in the two rooms. In particular, the cell in which Serhii Muravyov-Apostol and Mykhailo Bestuzhev-Ryumin were kept after the arrest was preserved.

Monument to Taras Shevchenko

Monument

A monument to the poet Taras Shevchenko in Vasylkiv was erected in 1993 on one of the city's central squares.

The monument is distinguished by its "humanity" - the Ukrainian genius is depicted not as a stern old man with a judgmental look, as usual, but as a young and inspired poet who sat down to rest with a book in his hands.
