Park "Horoshki Castle"
The park "Horoshki Castle" in Khoroshiv was laid out in the 18th century on the high bank of the Irsha River on the site of the medieval castle of the Lithuanian princely family Sapieha (defensive earthen ramparts and ditches have been preserved).
The estate in Horoshki belonged to the commander Mykhaylo Kutuzov from 1796, he visited it in 1802-1805. In the 19th century, there was a palace in the center of the park that belonged to Kutuzov, and then to his descendants (it burned down in 1919).
About 60 ancient oaks have been preserved.
