The ancient Cossack village of Bilozirya is located 15 kilometers from Cherkasy in the direction of Smila.
It was first mentioned in the 17th century on Guillaume de Beauplan's map. In ancient times, one of the navigable arms of the Dnipro ran here, where lakes later formed. One of them was called the White Lake (now drained) - it gave the village its name.
The wooden Transfiguration Church was built in 1710. A little later, the Church of the Virgin Mary was founded, but it has not survived to this day.
