During the War of Liberation, a Cossack hundred was formed in Kuzemyn, which was part of the Poltava and later Hadyatsky regiments. In the 19th century, the town was the center of the Kuzemyn volost of the Zinkiv district of the Poltava province. Weaving and embroidery were developed in the village - at the beginning of the 20th century, more than 200 craftsmen worked.

During the Holodomor-genocide of 1932-1933, 145 villagers died. The Church of the Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary was destroyed by the communists in the 1930s. In his childhood and youth, the writer Ivan Bahriany lived here for some time.

In recent years, Kuzemyn has been turning into a center of modern culture and arts thanks to the activities of the "Art Kuzemyn" Residence. The culinary hallmark of the village is Kuzemyn paniankas (Christmas gingerbread).

Село Куземин на правому березі Ворскли розташоване за 30 кілометрів на південний захід від Охтирки. Адміністративно входить до складу Грунської громади Охтирського району Сумської області.

На високому пагорбі біля мосту через Ворсклу на в'їзді в село знаходиться городище "Замок", яке у скіфські часи було одним із укріплень Більського городища.

Під час Визвольної війни в Куземині була сформована козацька сотня, що входила до складу Полтавського, а згодом Гадяцького полку. В XIX столітті містечко було центром Куземинської волості Зінківського повіту Полтавської губернії. В селі були розвинені ткацтво та вишивання – на початку XX працювало понад 200 майстрів.

Під час Голодомору-геноциду 1932-1933 років померло 145 мешканців села. Церква Покрови Пресвятої Богородиці знищена комуністами в 1930-х роках. У дитинстві та юності тут деякий час проживав письменник Іван Багряний.

В останні роки Куземин перетворюється на центр сучасної культури та мистецтв завдяки діяльності Резиденції "Art Kuzemyn". Кулінарною візитівкою села є куземинські панянки (різдвяні пряники).

"Castle" Hillfort

Archaeological site

The "Castle" Hillfort is located on Zamkova Mount above the Vorskla River, near the bridge at the entrance to the village of Kuzemyn, on its southeastern outskirts. It is part of the Kuzemyn fortification of the Bilsk Hillfort, a monument of fortifications of several eras.

The Kuzemyn fortification is located in the north of the Bilsk Hillfort of the 8th-5th centuries BC, its area is about 15 hectares. It is the least studied of the entire system of fortifications of the ancient Scythian Gelon.

In the early Middle Ages, part of the Scythian ramparts was used by the Siverians (bearers of the Romenska culture) to build a fortified settlement. Later, it became part of Kyivan Rus.

Between 1642 and 1648, Prince Jeremi Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki (Yarema Vyshnevetsky) built a wooden castle on the site of an old fortification from the Old Rus period and founded the border town of Kuzemyn (Kuzemchyn). During the War of Liberation, a Cossack hundred was formed in Kuzemyn, which was part of the Poltava and later Hadiach regiments. In 1708-1709, the fortifications of the Kuzemyn Castle were used by Swedish troops - the Helsingland regiment was based here.

Today, only earthen ramparts remain from the ancient defensive structures. The expedition of the Historical and Cultural Reserve "Bilsk" regularly conducts archaeological research.
