Unknown Sharivka

Sharivka is an estate complex built in the area of ​​the Cossack settlement founded by Matviy Shariy. The Sharivka Palace survived several owners (Olkhovsky, Gebenshtreiner, Koenig), the new additions of the Soviets, and the indifference of our contemporaries.

One of the most beautiful noble estates and a place of cultural pilgrimage for many Kharkiv residents. We all know it as a ruined one, with the remains of Mettlach tiles, and a trampled neglected garden. But what was it like before, during its heyday? We suggest you take a look at the decoration as it was photographed and published in issue 26 of the magazine “Capital and Manor” in 1915.
