Attractions of Lishchyn

The brick church of the Holy Trinity in Lishchyn was built in 1805 by the Przemysl chieftain Józef Polanowski. This building is considered the last church in the late Baroque style in Ukraine.

The church is a brick three-nave basilica with low side aisles. The main facade, decorated with horizontal rustication, is designed in the Doric order. To the northwest of the sanctuary is a two-tiered square bell tower.

The Trinity Church was consecrated in 1806 by the prelate Ruddikh. But almost immediately after that it was converted into an Orthodox church. During the Soviet occupation, the church was closed, but has survived to this day and is now restored.

The Polanowski family manor house in Lishchyn was built in 1805 by the Dąbrowa starosta Mikołaj Polanowski, son of the Podillia swordsmith Franciszek Polanowski. He purchased Lishchyn in 1772 from Count Vincent Potocki.

Mikołaj Polanowski located his manor house on the ancient settlement Tulyn, next to the ruins of the Tulyn Castle, which were still preserved at the beginning of the 19th century. The one-story manor house was built in the traditional classicist style, with two four-column porticoes on the main facade. Unfortunately, two of the eight Romanesque columns have already been lost.

In 1825, when military maneuvers of the Russian army were taking place near Lishchyn, a meeting of representatives of the Southern Society of Mikhail Bestuzhev-Ryumin and the Society of United Slavs of Aleksey Tyutchev - future Decembrists - took place in the estate.

Now the Polanowski manor house is located on the territory of the Lishchyn gymnasium and is in a neglected state.
