SIGHTS
There are plenty of impressive sights for our guests in Hlukhiv

The oldest building in the town is the church of St. Nicholas (1693), modeled after traditional wooden churches and executed in the Ukrainian Baroque style. The church, repaired and renovated in 1871, has three pear-shaped domes and a two-storey bell tower.



Probably the best known landmark of modern Hlukhiv is the conspicuous Water Tower (1927–29), though more historical interest attaches to the triumphal arch, dated either to 1744 or 1766. It has been suggested that the architect of this rather plain structure was Andrey Kvasov. The arch, the oldest in Ukraine, sustained damage during World War II but was subsequently restored.




The Kiev Gate. It is the only survived structure of the fortress, one of the four former entries in the territory of the old city.







Tereshchenko House. The oldest surviving building of architectural heritage of Tereshchenko family constructed in 1866.

The Central Park. It is a small park located in the heart of the city. Rudchenko Square.

St. Anastasia Church. The ancient church of the three holy Anastasias was rebuilt in Hlukhiv in 1884-1893 by means of Tereshchenko family, becoming their ancestral burial. The church reminds the forms of Vladimir Cathedral in Kiev.


Hlukhiv has captured the hearts and minds of many travelers with its rich cultural heritage.
