The village of Burty is located 20 kilometers north of Shpola.
It was founded in the 18th century next to the ancient defensive embankments, which were called burts. In the 19th century, the village belonged to the Orlov family.
The stone church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin, built in 1829 by Major General Oleksiy Orlov, has been preserved.
Poet Taras Shevchenko visited the market in Burty several times as a child, later mentioning the village in the story "Naymychka".
Село Бурти розташоване в 20 кілометрах на північ від Шполи.
Засноване в XVIII сторіччі поруч зі старовинними оборонними насипами, які називали буртами. В XIX столітті село належало роду Орлових.
Збереглася кам'яна церква Покрови Пресвятої Богородиці, збудована в 1829 році генерал-майором Олексієм Орловим.
Поет Тарас Шевченко в дитинстві кілька разів бував на базарі в Буртах, згадавши потім село в повісті "Наймичка".
Intercession of Holy Virgin Church
Temple , Architecture
The stone Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin with a bell tower was built in 1829 by Major General Oleksiy Orlov, who then owned the village of Burty.
Thanks to the native of the village, the outstanding musician and actor Vasyl Vasylko-Milyayev, the church had a good church choir.
The rich church library was looted, the bell tower was destroyed, and the church itself was closed during the infamous anti-religious campaign of the Bolsheviks.
Already after Ukraine gained independence, the Intercession Church was restored and overhauled.
