Attractions of Chernihiv district

A monument to the People's Artist of Ukraine Tetyana Yablonska was installed on the territory of the House of Artists' Creativity "Sedniv", which has been operating for over 40 years.

The artist created many of her paintings here.

Now, every year in September, the festival of literature and arts "Sedniv Autumn" takes place here.

The Church of the Three Saints in Lemeshi, clearly visible from the highway, was built in 1755 by the Rozumovsky brothers on the grave of their father - Hryhoriy Rozum.

The architectural details of the facades of the church indicate a gradual departure from the baroque style and the predominance of classicism. In 1865, a two-story belfry was added to the church, which was connected to it by a one-story building.

On the walls of the Church of the Three Saints, a fragment of painting from the 18th-19th centuries has been preserved.

The Trinity Church was built in Bihach in 1831 for the Keykuatovys landowners.

The majestic stone temple in the style of classicism is an architectural monument of national importance. The side facades are decorated with four-column porticoes of the Tuscan order with triangular pediments.

To this day, the Trinity Church has not been preserved in its original form - the open gallery and bell tower, which were adjacent to the church, have been lost. Currently, the temple is not in use and needs urgent capital restoration and restoration.

The manor of Chernihiv colonel Vasyl Dunin-Borkovsky, general of the Hetmanshyna, was located on the outskirts of Chernihiv, in the village of Bobrovytsia (now a microdistrict of the city).

On the basements of the one-story colonel's house, built in the 1680s and 1690s, there is now a two-story house built later in the classicism style.

The facility is located on the territory of a military unit, access is limited.

The house in the pseudo-Gothic style was built at the end of the 19th century on the then northeastern outskirts of Chernihiv as a craft class of an orphanage.

In 1900-1901, it was rebuilt and expanded to accommodate the historical exposition of the famous patron Vasyl Tarnovsky, Jr., who bequeathed his unique collection of paintings and manuscripts to the city. In 1902, the Chernihiv Museum of Ukrainian Antiquities was opened in the renovated building. More than 700 items were dedicated to Taras Shevchenko.

Until 1979, the Tarnovsky House, as the building was nicknamed, housed the exposition of the Chernihiv Historical Museum, and since 1980, the regional library for youth has been located here.

On March 11, 2022, as a result of the bombing by Russia, the building suffered significant damage. The Russian military aircraft dropped three high-explosive 500-kilogram bombs on the yard of the Tarnovsky House and the nearby stadium. The bomb that fell in the yard destroyed the wall of the Tarnovskyi House, the roof and the interior floors.

The Yeletsky Dormition Monastery in Chernihiv was founded in the 11th century by Prince Svyatoslav Yaroslavovych of Chernihiv (1027-1076) as a country princely residence.

Restored in 1445-1495 after the Mongol-Tatar invasion. Caves from the Ancient Rus period have been preserved. After the reconstruction of the 17th century, the architectural ensemble took on the features of the Ukrainian Baroque: Dormition Cathedral (XII century), 36-meter-high belfry above the gate, Peter and Paul Church with a refectory, cells, Lyzohub tomb, wooden house of Archimandrite Theodosius Uhhlytskyi (1688).

In the strict interior of the cathedral, fragments of ancient frescoes have been preserved.

The Yeletsky Dormition Monastery is part of the National Architectural and Historical Reserve "Ancient Chernihiv".

Zemska school in Lemeshi was built in honor of Nataliya Rozumovska (Rozumykha), the mother of the Hetman of the Left Bank of Ukraine.

It was at this place that the parents' house of the famous Rozumovsky brothers - Oleksiy and Kyrylo - was located. Their descendant Kamil Rozumovsky provided the funds for the construction.

The building is one-story, with a 2-column porch. For the first time in Ukraine, reinforced concrete technologies (columns and profiles of window frames) were used during construction. The author of the project was Ivan Yakubovych.

The Zemska school building in Lemesh is a vivid example of Ukrainian folk style architecture of the beginning of the 20th century.

Since the beginning of the 2010s, the building has been closed and abandoned.
