Attractions of Smila

The Church of the Assumption of the Holy Virgin Mary is located in the center of Smila, on the territory of the city park of culture and recreation.

The church in the neoclassical style was built on the site of the old wooden church in 1818-1827 at the expense of Antoniy Sovetskyi.

In Soviet times, the church, devoid of the central tower and two bells, was used as a cultural center, then as a district library.

In 2003, the Church of the Assumption was returned to the Roman Catholic community of Smila, and restoration is underway. The building of the parish house is located nearby.

The Holy Intercession Cathedral is the main Orthodox church of Smila.

The construction of the stone church began here in 1859 at the expense of prominent patrons of the Counts of Bobrynskyi.

The Smila Church of the Intercession in Byzantium was built according to the plan of the St. Petersburg Annunciation Life Guard of the cuirassier regiment of the church, but it has larger dimensions and only one central dome.

The Smila Museum of Local Lore is located in the building of the branch of the St. Petersburg Loan Bank, built in 1909 in the style of provincial art nouveau.

The main funds of the museum include more than 3,500 storage units. The exposition presents cartographic materials of the 19th and 20th centuries; exhibits that tell about the family of the former owners of the city, Counts Bobrynsky; archaeological finds made in the Dnipro region.

Among the unique exhibits are a casket made by Italian jewelers of the 18th century, a padlock from the middle of the 19th century, etc.
