Pyrohiv National Museum of Folk Architecture and Life

Voskresenska church comes from the Kysorychi village of the Rokytnivskyi district in the Rivne region. Built by local masters in 1789, it included three domes that were later changed to one, and an iconostasis, from which four pieces of a unique hewn altar now remain.

The building is based on oak piles called vidzemky and has three tent-shaped domes remade in the Polissia tradition. Now in the church, you can enjoy the permanent Religious Antiques of Ukraine exhibition including artifacts from the XVIII-XX centuries.

One of the elements of the Podillia region exposition in Pyrohiv is the windmill zone. Take a walk among these wooden giants that used to help Ukrainians in their daily life back in the older times.

The windmill’s main use was to help grind more grain harvest efficiently and make flour. A typical example, like that of Liytensky Budyshcha village (early XX century), has six wings and a two-level awning with the storeroom on the first floor and grindstones on the second.

In all, you can find 7 windmills dated from the mid-XIX century to the early XX century from the villages Blahovishchenka (Zaporizhzhia region), Skarhivka (Luhansk), Nurove and Vilshana (Kharkiv), Liutensky Budyshcha (Poltava), Horodyshche (Vinnytsia), and Livyntsi (Chernivtsi).
