Attractions of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi district

A stone tomb from Scythian times is called a Scythian Grave in Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi. The crypt was discovered in 1895.

It was a two-chamber structure on the rock, it was made of large (up to 3 meters long, up to 0.6-0.7 meters thick) limestone slabs. Plundered in ancient times. Inside there is an ornament in the form of a wood pattern. There is an assumption that an underground passage from the Akerman fortress was laid to the Scythian grave.

The ancient monument is located in the industrial zone near the seaport and the meat processing plant - access is difficult, but not prohibited.

The modern Shabo winery is based on the ancient traditions of Shabo winemaking. The Turkish name of the village of Shabo - "Asha-abah" ("Lower gardens") - indicates that there were vineyards here already in the 17th century.

The development of winemaking was facilitated by French settlers who arrived in Chabot in 1822. The Swiss scientist and winemaker Louis Tardan planted the first vine here, and already in 1847, his son Karl Tardan presented 8 varieties of Saba wines at the first agricultural exhibition in Chisinau.

Today, on 1,000 hectares of its own vineyards, located between the Dniester estuary and the Black Sea coast, Chabo grows the best grape varieties, many of which were brought over 200 years ago by the first French settlers. The wine is produced using modern cold bottling technologies.

The "Shabo Wine Culture Center" was created at the plant, tours and tastings are held. During the tour, you can visit the ancient Royal Cellar, Sherry Cellar, underground vaults, Cognac Court, Champagne House, cold bottling shop, museum labyrinth.

The mansion of Honorary Justice of the Peace Aloiziy Yaroshevych was built in 1890 in the center of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi according to the project of the architect Yevhen Yermakov in the spirit of neo-romanticism with a predominance of the Moorish style.

At the moment, the building is in a state of disrepair, and the local authorities cannot decide who owns it and what to do with it. Meanwhile, the most beautiful architectural monument is being destroyed.

The building of the poviat zemstvo administration with a square and a fence is one of the most interesting architectural monuments of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi.

Currently, it is the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi Vocational College of Nature Management, Construction and Computer Technologies.
