Historic area
The ancient Rus settlement on the hill above the Seym is located in the very center of modern Putyvl.
The construction of the border fortress city "on the way" began on the order of Prince of Kyiv Volodymyr Svyatoslavovych to protect Rus from nomads. Being a capital city, in the 10th-12th centuries Putyvl had powerful defensive structures. During excavations, fragments of defensive walls and the foundation of the Church of the Ascension were found, from where Prince Ihor Svyatoslavych attacked the Polovtsy in 1185 (the remains are preserved underground). According to the "The Tale of Ihor's Campaign", Princess Yaroslavna, who was waiting for her husband from the Polovtsian captivity, was crying on the walls of Putyvl.
After the Mongol-Tatar invasion, the fortress was restored, until the 17th century it consisted of 9 hewn oak towers. The West tower was 27 meters high. By the end of the 18th century, the fortress lost its strategic importance and was dismantled. A ditch and a low rampart have been preserved.
A park with a viewing area has been laid out on the territory, and a monument to Yaroslavna has been erected.

Hamaliivka (Kharalampiivskyi) monastery is a monastery-prison, one of the most negative examples of the use of historical and architectural heritage in Ukraine.
Founded in 1702 as a hermitage at the wooden church of Saint Harlampius. In 1713, Hetman of Ukraine Ivan Skoropadskyi issued a charter and allocated funds for the construction of a women's monastery. He was buried right there in the ancestral crypt of the Harlampius church (white stone tombstones have been preserved), and the monastery actually became an ancestral tomb.
In 1735, the construction of the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin was finished, the territory was surrounded by walls with towers and a belfry over the gate, stone cells and farm buildings appeared.
In the 18th century, the monastery burned twice and was rebuilt. It existed until 1924, when a nursing home and a children's shelter were opened here, and the cathedral was transformed into a cultural center.
In 1961, correctional and labor colony No. 66 of strict regime was established on the territory, the crypts of the Skoropadskyi were walled up, and the graves of the monks were dug up. It was only in 1994 that the restoration of the Harlampi church was carried out, and religious services for prisoners began to be held in it. The cathedral is still used as a workshop. The issue of returning the monastery to the Orthodox Church has not been resolved.

The Kharytonenko estate in Sumy is located on the bank of the Psel River at the confluence of the Sumka River on the opposite bank from the city center.
The famous sugar factory and philanthropist Ivan Kharytonenko bought this plot in the 1860s. The estate built by him consisted of three buildings: a residential building (a little in the depth of the estate; Kharytonenko's house in Moscow, where the British embassy is now located, was built on the model of this mansion), and two service buildings. In addition, the estate included a fountain in front of the residential building and a park above the Psel. In 1912-1913, the office building of the trading house "Kharytonenko and Son" was built, which housed a polyclinic in Soviet times.
Currently, the Kharytonenka estate belongs to the Ukrainian Academy of Banking of the National Bank of Ukraine, which is going to build a Palace of creativity and leisure for students here.
