General information about Khmelnytskyi

The city of Khmelnytskyi is a regional center in the upper reaches of the Pivdenniy Buh, a well-known trade center.

It was first mentioned in 1431 as the village of Ploskyrivtsi, belonging to the nobleman Yan Chanstulovskyi, then as a Ploskyriv sentinel with a wooden fortress ("flat moat" - from the Ploska river and a defensive moat). In the 18th century, the name was transformed into Proskuriv, and in 1954 the city was renamed in honor of Bohdan Khmelnytskyi.

The names of Maksym Krivonos, Danylo Nechay, Semen Paliy, Fedir Shpak and many other famous figures are also connected with the history of the city.

Місто Хмельницький - обласний центр у верхів'ях Південного Бугу, відомий центр торгівлі.

Вперше згадується в 1431 році як село Плоскирівці, що належить шляхтичу Яну Чанстуловському, потім як сторожовий пункт Плоскирів з дерев'яною фортецею ("плоский рів" - від річки Плоска та оборонного рову). У ХVІІІ століттях назва трансформувалася в Проскурів, а в 1954 році місто перейменовано на честь Богдана Хмельницького.

З історією міста також пов'язані імена Максима Кривоноса, Данила Нечая, Семена Палія, Федора Шпака та багатьох інших відомих діячів.

Неодноразово переживало великі пожежі та руйнування. Після Другої Світової війни архітектурні пам'ятки практично не збереглися. Окремі особняки зустрічаються на пішохідній вулиці Проскурова.

Fire Station

Architecture

The current building of the "Planeta" cinema, known to residents of Khmelnytskyi as "kalancha", was built as a fire station in 1954, during the period of intensive development of the city, which acquired the status of a regional center.

It was designed by the architect Hnat Chekirda, who built many iconic architectural structures of modern Khmelnytskyi (a memorial plaque has been installed).

Located at the busiest intersection in the center of the city, the building with a high tower, reminiscent of the town hall, is considered an informal symbol of Khmelnytskyi.

Since 1987, this is a children's cinema with 3 halls.
