Lebedyn, founded in 1652, is one of the most underrated towns in Sloboda Ukraine in terms of its tourism potential.

Here, the mid-19th-century shopping arcades have been preserved, along with the Art Nouveau-style town hall (1915) and the fire station tower (which is still in use)…

Here you can also see the wooden Church of the Resurrection, built in 1789.

…the historic hospital complex designed by K. Zilbernik in the early 20th century

across from it is the Shchekin-Krotov estate

…the house where G. Skovoroda and T. Shevchenko lived (alas, marred by siding). Mikhaylivska Street, 2.

The house where the poet Mikhail Petrenko lived from 1849 to 1862. Mykolaivs’ka Street, 2.

And plenty of other interesting architecture… Welcome to Lebedyn!
