Attractions of Tulchyn district

The Chetvertynsky manor in Antopil was founded at the end of the 18th century by Prince Antoniy Yan Svyatopolk-Chetvertynskyi, castellan of Bratslav.

First, a landscape park in the English style was laid out, and in 1830 a large palace in the style of classicism was built. The main facade of the palace is decorated with a four-column portico of the Ionic order, crowned with a triangular pediment and a stepped attic. A distinctive feature of the building are the balconies, located along the axes of the risalites at the level of the second floor, fenced with metal angular bars. The park facade is more modest, its center is marked by a semicircular risalite.

In the interiors, moldings of ceilings, highly artistic marble fireplaces have been preserved. Single-story wings in the Neo-Renaissance style were attached to the main building. The farm buildings, built mainly at the beginning of the 20th century by the new owners of the estate, the Yaroshynskyi, have also been preserved: a stable, a garage and a warehouse, a glacier, a dovecote, a gate, a stone fence.

The 27-hectare park was laid out in the 1880s on the basis of a natural forest, as evidenced by the trees that have survived to this day, including giant ash trees that reach 2 meters in diameter. The compositional axis of the park is the system of ponds.

During Soviet times, the Chetvertynsky Palace housed first a rest house, and later the Antopil boarding house for the mentally ill, which still operates today (visiting is difficult).

The Tymanivka Folk Museum of Oleksandr Suvorov was opened in 1947 in the house of the manager of the Tymanivka estate, where commander Oleksandr Suvorov lived in 1796-1797. In the Tymanivka area, he conducted training for Russian troops stationed in Tulchyn.

The museum's collection is based on finds discovered by local residents in the village (18th-century coins, cannons, cannonballs, bayonets, a drum, etc.). Also presented are uniforms of officers and soldiers of the Russian army of the late 18th century, weapons and standards of Russian, French, and Turkish armies of the 18th century, and a numismatic collection. A document with the commander's personal signature and seal is preserved.

Nowadays, a children's music school is located in Svarychevsky's house.

The Peoples Art Museum named after Taras Shevchenko in the village of Tymanivka was established in 1964 on the initiative of local residents, who had earlier begun to collect a collection of works by folk masters: embroidery, weaving items, carving samples, etc.

Later, the museum's collection was supplemented by works by professional artists and sculptors who visited Tymanivka at different times, works from the funds of the Lviv and Kharkiv State Art Institutes. Also presented are gifts to the local agricultural enterprise from numerous delegations, exhibits from various exhibitions in which the enterprise participated.
