Saint Michael's Church in Kozhukhivka is an example of Ukrainian wooden religious architecture.

Inside the Saint Michael's Church, the old rococo iconostasis and several baroque icons have been preserved.

Belongs to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.

Saint Michael's Church was built in the village of Pylypivka in 1843 on the site of a burned down wooden church founded in 1784.

For help in the construction of a new stone church, the residents of Pylypivka turned to Countess Oleksandra Branytska, maid of honor of Catherine II, niece of Prince Hrihoriy Potomkin, founder of the Oleksandriya Arboretum in Bila Tserkva. Countess Branytska allocated funds for construction, as she promised to build 12 churches on her lands. Saint Michael's Church was built for 9 years and the countess did not live to see it consecrated.

During the Soviet era, the temple was closed, but now it is active again.

Paintings of Mykhaylo Vrubel's students have been preserved in the interiors.

The wooden church of Saint Paraskeva in the village of Vepryk in the Fastiv region was founded in 1856.

The parish priest in this church in 1920-1922 was the prominent Ukrainian composer Kyrylo Stetsenko, who was invited by local residents to lead the local parish after he turned to the church at the end of his life.

During Soviet times, the church of Saint Paraskeva was destroyed. In the early 1990s, it was restored on the former foundation in its original form according to the surviving drawings.

The unique steam locomotive K-15776 Cuckoo ("Zozulya"), which is permanently parked at the "Boiarka" railway station, is considered a symbol of the city.

This is one of the monuments to the boyar narrow-gauge railway, thanks to which Kyiv was saved from freezing in the cold winter of 1921-1922. Such steam locomotives transported firewood harvested in nearby forests.

The "Cuckoo" steam locomotive in Boyarka is considered the only representative of this series that has survived in Ukraine.

The massive stone water mill in the village of Pivni was built on the right bank of the Unava River in 1909. Located on the outskirts of the village near the central road.

From a distance, the mill building resembles a small castle. Despite some damage, the mill still works, but no longer as a water mill.
