General information about Hiltsi

The village of Hiltsi is located 15 kilometers north of Chornukhy.

Known since the 16th century. According to legend, the name comes from the surname of the first settler - Kost Hilka, a Cossack. The last owner was the landowner Slavotynskyi.

The Zemstvo school was preserved, which was built in 1911 according to the project of Opanas Slastion, in which Serhiy Hres, one of the leaders of the insurgent movement in Poltava region in 1920, worked as a teacher.

Село Гільці розташоване в 15 кілометрах на північ від Чорнух.

Відоме з XVI сторіччя. За легендою, назва походить від прізвища першого поселенця - козака Костя Гілки. Останнім господарем був поміщик Славотинський.

Збереглася земська школа, яку було побудовано в 1911 році за проєктом Опанаса Сластіона (Сластьона), в якій працював учителем Сергій Гресь, один з лідерів повстанського руху на Полтавщині в 1920 році.

Zemska School

Architecture

The two-class Zemska school in Hiltsi was built in 1911 according to the project of the famous architect Opanas Slastion (Slaston), who used elements of traditional Ukrainian architecture in his works.

The one-story brick building with ornamental masonry has tall hexagonal windows and a magnificent tented tower in the style of Ukrainian Art Nouveau.

The guardian of the school was the head of the public education department of the district zemstvo administration, Prince Kochubey, whose farm was located nearby. Volodymyr Hres (Otaman Gonta), who in 1920 became one of the leaders of the rebel movement in Poltava Region, was the first teacher of the Gilets Zemska Primary School.

The building is still in good condition and is used for its intended purpose.
