Attractions of Pervomaisk

The Holy Intercession Church is the only architectural structure preserved in Pervomaisk from the 19th century.

The traditional church was built in 1805 in the style of classicism. In 1839, a bell tower was built nearby.

It is located on the territory of the former Polish settlement of Bohopol, which later became part of Pervomaisk.

The Pervomaisk Museum of Local Lore was founded in 1927 by the well-known archeologist Pavlo Kharlampovych.

At the beginning of World War II, the museum's fund included about 20,000 exhibits. Most of the collection was destroyed during the war, in particular the archaeological collection, which was collected during the Pivdenyi Buh archaeological expedition of 1928-1932 on the banks of the Pivdenyi Buh and its tributaries.

The museum was restored only in 1985. Today, it is a branch of the Mykolaiv Regional Museum of Local Lore as a department. It has 15 chapters, in which you can familiarize yourself with the history of Pervomaisk region from the Stone Age to modern times.

The permanent interest of visitors is aroused by the exposition "Village House" and the exhibition of holograms, which is constantly in operation, which presents objects from the most famous museums of Ukraine.

Museum employees conduct tours of the city and its surroundings.

The water mill on the Synyukha River in Pervomaisk is located in the northern part of the city. The hydrotechnical structure with a stone building was built at the end of the 19th century by a local entrepreneur Tsidulko. In Soviet times, the mill was part of the structure of the district food processing plant.

Now the Tsidulko Mill is in private ownership. The building has been reconstructed as a recreation complex "Residence at the Water Mill", which has been operating since 2024 as a hotel, a location for photo shoots and a space for special events.

It is planned to open a museum, where you can see the work of the wooden mechanism of the water mill.
