Mykola Kybalchych Memorial Museum

Museum / gallery

The memorial museum of the revolutionary-populist and inventor Mykola Kybalchych was opened in Korop in the house of the priest in which he was born in 1853.

Even in his youth, Kybalchych, who was fond of chemistry, became an underground revolutionary, working in the so-called "hell laboratories" where explosives were made. At the same time, he developed a diagram of the world's first jet aircraft, the drawing of which was scratched on the wall of a prison cell. In 1881, he was executed for an attempt to assassinate the Russian Tsar Oleksandr II.

A family of local artists - Olena Lukash and Mykola Hara-Zhuk - stood near the sources of the creation of the Kybalchych Museum in Korop. In particular, the museum exposition presents a model of the Kybalchych rocket.

Saint Illya Fortress Church

Temple , Architecture

The Saint Illya Church in Korop is an unusual defensive-type church that has no analogues on the Left Bank of Ukraine.

According to one of the versions, the foundation of the temple is a tower that was part of the system of city fortifications of the XV-XVI centuries. Other researchers date its construction to the second half of the 17th century, when hetman Demyan Mnohohrishny created a special hetman hundred and artillery yard in Korop.

The Saint Illya Church has powerful walls up to 2 meters thick, narrow loophole windows, a complex layout and a system of secret passages. It is possible that even then it simultaneously performed three functions: religious, military and civil. Food and ammunition were stored on the first floor, religious services were held on the second, and the third was a military one.

In the 18th century, the church-fortress was reconstructed and consecrated in honor of Saint Illya the Thunderer. According to tradition, Cossack cannons installed on the temple were fired during major holidays.

The Saint Illya Church was badly damaged during the Second World War, the upper part was dismantled. At present, the church has been handed over to the Orthodox community of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, but restoration has been frozen.
