General information about Orikhiv

The city of Orikhiv on the Kinska (Konka) River is located 60 kilometers southeast of Zaporizhzhia, on the highway N-08 Zaporizhzhia – Mariupol.

It is one of the oldest cities of the modern Zaporizhzhia region, which arose during the construction of the Dnipro line of fortifications of the Russian Empire in the second half of the 18th century.

According to folk tales, the first settler of Orikhiv balka was the peasant Ivan Yushka from Chernihiv region, who in 1775 set up his winter house on the bank of the then still full-water Konka River. By the beginning of the 19th century, the state settlement of Orikhiv Balka had grown so much that the county administration was transferred to it, and in 1801 the settlement received the status of a city with the name Orikhiv.

Це одне з найдавніших міст сучасної Запорізької області, що виникло в період спорудження Дніпровської лінії укріплень Російської імперії у другій половині ХVІІІ століття.

До початку XIX столітта казенне поселення Оріхова Балка настільки розрослося, що до нього перевели повітове управління, і в 1801 році поселення отримало статус міста з назвою Оріхів.

Orikhiv Museum of Local Lore

Architecture , Museum / gallery

The Orikhiv Museum of Local Lore was founded in 1972. Since 1993, the museum has been located in the historic building of the city administration, which is an architectural monument of local importance. The building was erected in 1893 in the style of Ukrainian classicism.

The museum's funds include about 7,000 exhibits. The "Archaeology" hall acquaints visitors with the history of the region from the Stone Age to the second half of the 18th century, when the construction of the Dnipro fortified line began and the first Cossack settlement in Orikhiv Balka arose.

The exposition "Orikhiv region at the turn of the 19th – early 20th centuries" tells about the development of the modern city of Orikhiv.

There is an ethnographic exhibition in the exhibition hall, where old household items are presented: clothes, dishes, towels, irons, samovars, etc.

A separate exhibition tells about the events of the Russian-Ukrainian war, starting in 2014.

During the full-scale Russian invasion of 2022, when Orikhiv was close to the front line, the building of the Orikhiv Museum of Local Lore was damaged by shelling of the city by the Russian invaders.
