Attractions of Rivne region

The Church of Saint Yan Nepomuk in Mizoch stands on the site of a destroyed Cossack temple.

The Empire style building was started by General Kshyshtof Dunin-Karvytskyi in 1795 and finished by his son Kazymyr after 1830.

After 1945, the church was divided in the middle into two parts by beams. There was a library downstairs, and a movie theater upstairs.

In the dungeons of the church, representatives of the Dunin-Karvytsky family were buried, as well as Princess Yadviha Lyubomyrska.

Today it is the Orthodox Church of the Nativity of the Holy Virgin of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. The interior decoration in the original style has not been preserved.

"Yanush's Furnace" is the name of the only structure that survived from the palace of Yanush Ostrozki in Mezhyrich near Ostroh.

The palace was located next to the Holy Trinity monastery-fortress. All that remains of it is a huge fireplace-type stove with large arched openings, a pyramidal roof and a tall chimney with Renaissance decoration. The fire was lit in the center, the side passages could be closed during the cold season.

It is assumed that the palace guards warmed themselves near the Yanush Furnace. It could also be used during banquets to roast large animal carcasses on spits.

The Yuzefinsky oak in the "Yuzefinska dacha" tract near the village of Hlynne is one of the oldest trees in Ukraine.

In the Book of Records of Ukraine, it is recorded as the oldest oak in Ukraine (1,300 years old), but experts of the Kyiv Ecological and Cultural Center concluded that it is no more than 1,000 years old, and it is not the oldest.

The Yuzefinsky oak is also called the "Tree of Prince Ihor" because, according to legend, it witnessed the campaign of Prince Ihor in 945.

The oak-patriarch has a height of about 20 meters, a girth of 7.9 meters. The tree is in extremely bad condition, there are several hollows on the trunk, only two branches remain alive.

Zaslav (Izyaslav) gate is the only surviving stone element of the outer defensive fortifications of medieval Mezhyrich.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, the defensive Holy Trinity Monastery was the citadel of the Mezhyrich fortress. Its defensive ramparts were organically united and incorporated into the system of earthen fortifications of the village itself. Then earthen ramparts with hexagonal bastions placed at the corners of the ramparts were built around Mezhyrich. You could get to Mezhyrichthrough two gates: the Zaslav Gate on the road to Izyaslav (former Zaslav), which has survived to this day, and the Dubno Gate, which was located where the center of the village is now.
