General information about Krolevets

The city of Krolevets is located on the Moscow Kipti-Hlukhiv highway, 40 kilometers from Hlukhiv in the direction of Kyiv.

It was founded at the beginning of the 17th century by immigrants from the Right Bank of Ukraine.

After an unsuccessful attempt to capture Moscow and the Deulinsky armistice, the Polish king Sigismund III turned this small settlement into a strong point on the border with Muscovy, naming it in his honor (krul - king in Polish). In 1644, King Vladyslaw IV granted the city the right of Magdeburg for the fastest possible construction. Development was facilitated by the location on two trade routes leading from Kyiv to Moscow. For some time, the city was the subject of border disputes, until it passed to Russia in 1686.

Until the 19th century, the grand Exaltation of the Cross fair was held here. Taras Shevchenko visited his friends in the city.

The Transfiguration Church (1782), the synagogue building (19th century), and the female gymnasium (1914) have been preserved.

A unique botanical attraction is a 220-year-old colony of apple trees, which reproduces by rooting branches.

Місто Кролевець розташоване на московській трасі Кіпті-Глухів, в 40 кілометрах від Глухова в бік Києва.

Засноване на початку XVII сторіччі переселенцями з Правобережної України.

Після невдалої спроби захопити Москву і Деулінського перемир'я польський король Сигізмунд III перетворив це маленьке поселення в опорний пункт на кордоні з Московією, назвавши його на свою честь (круль - польською король). Для якнайшвидшого будівництва король Владислав ІV в 1644 році надав місту Магдебурзьке право. Розвитку сприяло розташування на двох торгових шляхах, що ведуть з Києва до Москви. Деякий час місто було предметом прикордонних суперечок, поки в 1686 році не відійшло до Росії.

Apple Tree Colony

Natural object

The apple tree colony in Krolevets is a unique apple tree-bush over 220 years old. It is a colony of 15 related trees with an area of 1,000 square meters.

The colony developed from a single mother trunk that once existed. Its main feature is a unique method of reproduction. With age, the branches of an apple tree bend to the ground and take root, as a result, new trees sprout (in this way, gooseberries and currants multiply).

Apple tree is located on the territory of the former estate of the Meshchersky princes. A tombstone found nearby with the inscription: "Prince Petro Serheev, son of Meshchersky" was installed under it. He was born on August 24, 1780, and died on February 18, 1848 at the age of 68." According to legend, the tree "mourns" the deceased owner.

Another legend tells that the prince planted an apple tree on the grave of his wife, who died early.
