Attractions of Ivano-Frankivsk region

The Mariiampil castle on the high left bank of the Dniester was built in 1691 by the famous Polish commander, the great crown hetman Stanisłav Yablonovsky.

In the 12th-15th centuries, there was an ancient Rus settlement of Chortopil on this place, and later - a wooden castle of Bozhiy Vydok. Yablonovsky Castle was named Mariiampil in honor of the icon of the Virgin Mary "the Victorious", who accompanied the hetman in all his military campaigns. The fortress had four defensive towers, two entrance gates, a residential building and garrison barracks, a siege well.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, part of the defensive structures were dismantled for the construction of a new palace, which has survived to this day (now a hospital). A 600-year-old oak tree grows in front of the palace, and an ancient park is located behind the house.

There is a healing spring at the foot of Castle Hill (Zamkova Hora).

The water mill on the Limnytsya River was built in the village of Yasen in 1930.

In 2017, the non-profit organization "Ukrainian Women's Guard" leased a non-working for several dozen years Yasensky mill and restored it with the help of the local community. An operational bread mill-museum is being created on its base, where the attributes of the traditional baking art of Prykarpattya will be exhibited.

With the support of the Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania in Ukraine, a social bakery was opened next to the Yasen mill, the profits from which are directed to the further development of the project and to the needs of Ukrainian soldiers and their families, as well as a training center for the wives of fallen soldiers, where women are taught entrepreneurship.

The center of Ukrainian formality, youth movement, venue for festivals, children's and youth sports and patriotic camps, "Unizh" forge (Kuznya) was founded in 2008 on the picturesque bank of the Dniester by public figure and entrepreneur Vladyslav Kyrychenko (GO "Reformation").

A modern center for patriotic, cultural and intellectual education of young people is being created on the ruins of the farm buildings of the former collective farm. Music festivals, discussion clubs, creative workshops, children's camps take place on the territory of "Forge" in Unizh.

The complex is created by the hands of enthusiasts and volunteers.
