Chernihiv Tourist Information

Chernihiv Ukraine

Chernihiv is a very old town whose history spans more than twelve hundred years. It played an important role in the history of Kyiv-Rus - Ukraine and is mentioned in the oldest Eastern Slavic chronicles. One of the most famous monuments of those times is a mighty fortress, called the Dytynets, which was built at the beginning of the 12th century. The Dytynets is a park now but it still displays 12 cast-iron guns of the 17th-18th centuries. Chernihiv of today is the administrative centre of the Chernihiv Oblast. At the same time it remains to be a place abounding in architectural creations of the past: the Spasky Cathedral (12th century); the Borysoglibsky Cathedral (12th century); the Mansion of Yakov Lysohub (17th century); the house of the Collegium (1700) and the Kateryninska Church which now houses a museum of local folk decorative art; the tomb of Prince Chorny, the founder of Chernihiv; the Troyitsko-Illinsky Monastery with Antoniyiv's caves connected by galleries. Most of the architectural landmarks are in a good state of preservation and are truly impressive sights.
