Windmill in the village Pustovity: Ukrainian “Dutchman”
This handsome man is over 120 years old! The hill for it was filled and rammed by the whole village, the foundation of the building is a huge pillar buried in the ground, and the mill was built by an ordinary worker. Not quite ordinary. After all, it is very difficult to build such a […]
The station in Ivano-Frankivsk (1866): one of the five most beautiful in Ukraine
Austro-Hungarian emperor Franz Joseph I and the legendary anarchist Nestor Makhno, ataman of the Ukrainian Republic Petliura and composer Lysenko visited here. Actors, writers, public figures and, of course, local thieves walked along these platforms. It was at the station that the first electric lighting appeared in the city. And aliens flew here! At Miniland.UA, […]
Trypil thermal power station: the most powerful in the Kyiv region
Some people see a kind of man-made beauty in this Zdrove power plant, while others complain that the Trypil coal-fired thermal power plant pollutes the environment. One way or another, this facility is one of the most notable industrial and tourist attractions of the Obukhiv district near Kyiv. The dimensions and power of the Trypilska […]
Canyon in the village of Buki: a natural wonder of Cherkasy
It has been compared to Stonehenge. Locals claim that there are spirits here, and in ancient times, Cossacks-characters performed their rites. Scientists have established: the granites that form the rocks of the Beech Canyon are more than 2 billion years old! It is no wonder that this place impresses with its power. Today it attracts […]
Kyiv nine-story building in modernism style
What is this, an ordinary panel from the sleeping area? Everything is true, but not completely. The old series 1-464A-20 is one of Kyiv’s business cards. Chokolovka, Vidradny, Voskresenka, Solomyanka, Darnytsia are still massively built up with such “Khrushchevs at full speed”. The buildings turned out to be somewhat clumsy, not super-comfortable, but cozy and […]
The railway station in the city of Gaivoron: narrow-gauge, long live!
It would seem like an ordinary train station of a small town, but it is actually very nice. But not everything is so simple. Railway fans from different countries of the world come here to Gaivoron. Their goal is to see a real relic, once the longest narrow-gauge route in Europe, the total length of […]
Water mill in the village of Kvitneve
This three-story mill literally grows out of the water, more precisely from the Unava River. He appeared here in 1905. But history has left no mention of who built the mill or was its owner. They say that the area was owned by the sons of Countess Sofia Kudasheva in those days. So maybe one […]
The oldest cinema in Kyiv still works at Miniland.UA!
He is more than a hundred years old. It changed several names, worked even during the Second World War, was a stable, withstood a fire and an attempted barbaric demolition. All this is about the legendary metropolitan “Ekran”, a small cinema with a long tragic history. And we really want it to have a big […]
