On September 20, 2015, we had a wonderful trip to the estates of the northern part of the former Kharkiv province in Sumy district – now it is Sumy Oblast, we also visited Trostyanets’. Thanks to Anna Zolotareva for the wonderful photos!
The Nadarzynski-Golitsyn estate, rebuilt by Leopold Koenig in the second half of the 19th century:
Trostyanets. Horse yard of the Nadarzhynsky-Golitsyn estate (1749):
Yunakivka, Sumy Oblast. Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, built in 1806.
The bell tower was built in 1823.
The Lishchynsky Palace in Kyyanytsya:
All this was built by the sugar magnate Kharytonenko (1890), and he bequeathed it to his niece, Maria Lishchynska.
