Після дощу повітря було вологе і насичене запахом різнотрав’я. Я повертався у Козелець від Данівки. Втомився і коли запримітив стежку, що вела кудись в поле, зійшов з шляху і попрямував до далекої річки. Від простору, який відкривався з кожним кроком, мене охопило дивне відчуття свободи, яке пам‘ятаю з дитинства:
«А я дивлюсь, а я чомусь радію. Моя душа від поля до небес.»
“And I'm watching, and for some reason I'm happy. My soul from the field to the heavens. "
St. – Catherine's church in Chernihiv is the greatest monument of Ukrainian (Cossack) renaissance of the 17th – 18th centuries, which has authentically remained, it produced a decisive influence on the development of Ukrainian church architecture of the 18th century and it still plays the role of city building dominant of the historical party of the town.
St Catherine Church was built in 1715 by brothers James and Simeon Lyzogub in honour of the famous battle of Chernihiv Cossack army. Under the command of Hetman Yakov Lyzogub in 1696, the Cossacks stormed the enemy's fortress of Azov. Now the five-domed Church in snow-white colours reminds us of the great feats and heroism of Chernihiv warriors.

Лише наодинці з природою можливо по-справжньому оцінити час і своє ставлення до життя, замислитися над його філософією, вічними проблемами людини і світу. Адже, як казав Євген Гуцало, «світ природи – це живе втілення філософії». Саме тут, на березі річки Остер, втомлений довгою ходою і сп‘янілий від ароматів польового різнотрав‘я, я сидів, відпочиваючи, та відчував себе реінкарнацією Григорія Сковороди. :-))

The Cathedral of Theodosius of Chernihiv is one of the youngest temples in Kiev, however, during its existence, it managed to turn into one of the city's attractions.
The history of the temple of Theodosius of Chernihiv begins in 1986, when settlers from Chernobyl and Pripyat, cities affected by the Chernobyl disaster, began to come to the Belichi residential area. New settlers had to become parishioners of the Church of St. John the Baptist, but its size did not allow everyone to visit it, and another church simply did not exist here. For this reason, the liquidators of the Chernobyl accident and their family members drew up a petition to the authorities, which indicated the need to perpetuate the memory of the victims. Only in 1994, at the place where Chernobylskaya Street and Pobedy Avenue intersect, erected a monument consecrated by Metropolitan Volodymyr.
At the same time, an idea was expressed to build a chapel named after the patron saint of the liquidators of the accident, Theodosius of Chernihiv. In April 2001, the foundation stone of the future church was solemnly laid. At first, it was planned to erect a relatively small building, only 3x5 meters, but gradually the plan changed and as a result a real temple was obtained, capable of accommodating 200 people at a time, although, according to community members, this is completely insufficient. Officially, the temple began its work in September 2002, but even during the construction, various rituals were held.
Since most of the parishioners of the church are in one way or another connected with the accident at a nuclear power plant, among the people of Kiev it is often called “Chernobyl”
Old monthly magazine “Kievskaya starina” which specialized in historical subjects, in 1898 wrote:
“For fanciers of church architecture and paintings Cathedral in memory of Assumption of Virgin Mary in Kozelets town in Chernihovskay province represents something such, perhaps, not to see in all famous in this direction cathedrals and churches of St. Petersburg. (…)
Very soon the cathedral was built. It was like a miracle that everyone exclaimed and decided that not only in Chernihiv, but even in Kiev actually no such cathedral”.
Beauty is a universal language; it can’t be compared with artificial Esperanto. Here is really very beautiful. Olexiy Razumovsky had a taste and much money (besides he was married secretly to Russian empress Yelyzaveta Petrivna). In this case, it is also very important.
В середине ХVІІІ века семья Разумовских была одной из самых богатых в России. Именно в это время и возвели величественный собор Рождества Богородицы. Учредительницей собора стала мать братьев Разумовских, Наталия Демьяновна. Придворная статс-дама (в прошлом обычная сельская женщина) инициировала строительство большой церкви в родном селе Лемешах. И почти одновременно она, при поддержке сына-гетмана, начала строительство огромного собора в Козельце, который строили в течение 11 годов (1752-1763). Руководили строительством архитекторы Квасов и Григорович-Барский. Храм возвели в стиле позднего барокко, но с элементами украинской народной архитектуры. Немного позже (в 1770) рядом с храмом была построена большая (высотой 50 метров) колокольня.
In Balakleia, liberated from the occupiers, the Ukrainian soldiers tore off a poster with the Russian flag from the billboard and saw a poem by Taras Shevchenko under it.
The Russians taped up a portrait of Kobzar and an excerpt from his poem "Caucasus", which was written in 1845. In the work, Taras Shevchenko condemns the Russian Empire and glorifies the people's struggle for freedom.
The following fragment of the poem was on the poster:
“…І вам слава, сині гори,
Кригою окуті.
І вам, лицарі великі,
Богом не забуті.
Борітеся — поборете,
Вам Бог помагає!
За вас правда, за вас слава,
І воля святая!..”
“…And glory, mountains blue, to you,
In ageless ice encased!
And glory, freedom’s knights, to you,
Whom God will not forsake.
Keep fighting — you are sure to win!
God helps you in your fight!
For fame and freedom march with you,
And right is on your side!..” Translated by John Weir
St. Theodosius Archbishop of Chernihiv Church. Kyiv.
Четырехъярусная колокольня высотой 50 м. (одна из самых высоких в Украине) расположена рядом с собором. Композиционное решение здания традиционно ярусное: нижний ярус украшен рустом, на втором ярусе пучки колонн тосканского ордера, на третьем - ионического, на четвертом - коринфского. Увенчана колокольня полусферическим куполом со шпилем.
Колокольня была возведена в 1766-1770 гг. Изначально в ней было 5 ярусов, но в 1848 году верхний ярус сгорел, восстанавливать его не стали.
Густинський монастир було засновано в 1600 р. Засновником був ієросхімонах Іосаф.
Санкт-Петербург було засновано 16 (27) мая 1703 года Петром I, тобто майже через 100 років після Густиньского монастиря.
Вознесенська церква. Козелець. Чернігівська область, Україна.
Побудована 1866–1874 роках у стилі українського бароко з ознаками архітектурного історизму. Розташована на головній площі міста в 150 метрах від Собору Різдва Богородиці. Мурована, п'ятибанна, хрещата у плані, має дві апсиди — зі Сходу та Заходу. Кутові бані декоративні. Центральна баня більша за кутові і відіграє головну роль у силуеті, має вісім вікон. Фасади потиньковані, білені (розфарбування в два кольори відсутнє), прикрашені напівциркульними вікнами та карнизами. Рельєфні оздоби фасадів невисокі, майже графічні, декору — обмаль.
The huge cathedral in Kozelsk was built for 11 years (1752-1763). The architects Kvasov and Grigorovich-Barsky supervised the construction. The temple was built in the late Baroque style, but with elements of Ukrainian folk architecture. A little later (in 1770) near the temple was built a large (50 meters high) bell tower.
"Город Козелец... городишко ничем не приметный, но все-таки проезжающий, если он не спит, когда меняют коней, или не закусывает у пана Тихоновича, то непременно залюбуется величавым храмом грациозной растреллиевской архитектуры, который построила Наталка Розумиха". (Т.Шевченко)
Собор – кирпичный, оштукатуренный, четырехнефный, девятичастный, четырехстолпный, выстроенный в форме равностороннего креста. Притворы – одной высоты с основным объемом – делают его в плане почти квадратным. Главный престол церкви освящен в честь Рождества Пресвятой Богородицы, правый придел – в честь апостолов Петра и Павла, левый – пророка Захарии и святой Елизаветы, нижний – святых мучеников Адриана и Наталии. Храм – пятикупольный, купола имеют двухъярусное завершение, типичное для украинского барокко. С трех сторон к храму пристроены паперти с шатровым покрытием.
Петро-Павлівська надбрамна церква на сході монастиря.
У 1670–1680 роках монастиреві всіляко допомагали і про нього опікувалися гетьмани Іван Самойлович та Іван Мазепа, прилуцький полковник Лазар Горленко, а в 1690-х роках його син, прилуцький полковник Дмитро Лазарович Горленко. На цей час припадає найбільший розквіт Густині. Монастир прикрашається новими монументальними спорудами, збагачується новими володіннями. За кошти полковника Дмитра Горленка звели високі цегляні мури навколо монастиря, побудували кам'яні надбрамні церкви — Миколаївську із заходу й Петропавлівську зі сходу.
Yeletskyi Dormition Monastery (Yeletskyi Uspenskyi manastyr). One of the oldest monasteries in Ukraine, situated in Chernihiv; founded in 1069 by Sviatoslav II Yaroslavych on the site of an apparition of an icon of Mary in a fir tree (the name of the monastery derives from the Old Church Slavonic yel’ ‘fir’). The monastery was sacked in 1239 during the Tatar invasion, and not restored until 1445–99. It was damaged again in the early 17th century when the Poles occupied Chernihiv. At that time it was also put under Uniate control. After the Khmelnytsky uprising (see Cossack-Polish War) the monastery returned to Orthodoxy and underwent a revival under Archimandrite Lazar Baranovych (1657–69) and Archimandrite Ioanikii Galiatovsky (1669–88). The complex was restored, and a bell tower, refectory, and other buildings were added. In the late 18th century the monastery's properties were nationalized by the Russian state, and the monastery was granted first-class status. It was closed under Soviet rule and severely damaged during the Second World War. Restored in the early 1950s, it is now a museum preserve.
The central feature of the monastery is the Cathedral of the Dormition, which was built in the late 11th century. It is a three-nave structure typical of the Chernihiv architectural style of that time. The original single cupola was complemented in the 17th century by three smaller cupolas. At the same time, a baroque façade and a side altar (where the monastery's patron, Yakiv K. Lyzohub, was buried) were added to the structure. The bell tower is hexagonal in shape, built in three layers with a single dome on top. Other surviving structures include three buildings containing the monks' cells.
Starting from the second half of the 17 th century Sedniv was the place where large landowners the Lyzogubs arranged their main manor. The members of this glorious Ukrainian Cossack family played a significant role in the history and culture of Ukraine.
In 1687 Hetman Ivan Mazepa, designated Jacob Lyzogub the Chernigov colonel. In 1689 Mazepa endowed him richly with lands near Chernigov, including Sednev for his participation in the Crimean campaign. Son of Jacob Lyzogub, Efim was the Chernihiv colonel as well. In 1690 he began the construction of ancestral estate in Sedniv. On the right high bank of the Snov river he managed to lay a large park, build wooden residential buildings, stone building and the Resurrection church as the family burial vault.
The following generations of the Lyzogubs were all the militaries. In the first half of the 19th century one of five brothers Lyzogubs Andrei Ivanovich (1804-1864) retired and settled for good in Sedniv at the age of twenty-five years. He was joined by his brother, Ilya Ivanovich (1787-1867) – a retired colonel, a participant of the war with Napoleon and Alexander Ivanovich (1790-1839) – major general. The old building proved to be rather small. The estate was expanded along the mountain over again. The brothers turned the family homestead in the picturesque architectural ensemble. They attached a tower in a pseudogothic style to the old Cossack stone building and on the flank of the hill above the Snov river there was placed a gazebo.
To unite old and new territories of the estate the old rampart of the ancient settlement of Snov was cut through and a small bridge was spanned over the moat.
Park of the new estate acquired the romantic features according to the fashion trends of that time. Scenic views and the rampart proved very handy. In the end of the rampart that is on a steep slope at the river, a typical for romantic parks mysterious grotto with an entrance was embedded right in the ground. It was once decorated with local river mussels like the “sea bed” . Circular hole was in the ceiling, and a small window that overlooked the Snov river. By efforts of Ilya Ivanovich there were installed fountains in the park. One of them, called “Getman”, spurted higher than the famous “Samson” in Peterhof.
In the mid of th 19th century in the middle of the park there was built an U-shaped the Lyzogubs’ large house in the style of late classicism in place of the old wooden one.
The manor house is a one-storey building that bears typical features of eclectic architecture. It has two projection in the facade on both sides and a semicircular oriel in the center of the fasade that is turned to the river and fine detail decoration. House is placed parallelly to the slope.
All the buildings in the estate seemed to stress the attractiveness of the landscapes that was greatly admired by the owners: the tower over the entrance to Cossack stone building, the grotto, the oriel and white-column rotunda are oriented to the east overlooking the river.
Unfortunately, the park is now neglected. The slopes are so overgrown that one can hardly see the scenery across the river. There are age-old chestnuts, oaks, maples, which remember many guests of the Lyzogubs.
And among them were artists L. Zhemchuzhnikov and A. Slastion, writers L. Glebov and B. Grinchenko. There is still a lime tree in the park in the shade of which Taras Shevchenko liked to have a rest during his visits to Sedniv.
The Lizogubs themselves were rather talented human beings. Thus Alexander Lyzogub is known as the Ukrainian composer, one of the founders of Ukrainian piano music. He was the author of nocturnes, mazurkas, ballads, and variations on the theme of Ukrainian folk songs.
Ilya Ivanovich was keen on music as well. Mykola Markevych characterized him as: “A wonderful musician, a pianist, cellist, singer and composer, a good painter, a person keen on hydraulics. He decorates Sedniv with parks and fountains and lives quietly, modestly, but as an aristocrat.” The younger brother of Andrei Ivanovich was fond of painting and painted a few icons for the iconostasis of the Resurrection church.
In November 2009 President of Ukraine issued the decree to establish State Historical and National Preserve “The Lyzogubs’ Estate” in Sedniv.

Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul. View from the Resurrection Church.
The Gustyn Holy Trinity Convent is an Orthodox monastery in the village of Gustynia, Chernihiv Oblast, Ukraine. One of the outstanding monuments of Ukrainian Baroque. The place where the Gustyn Chronicle was created.
To the southeast of the Holy Trinity Church and to the northeast of the Resurrection Church, the Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul was built, included in the ring fence (1693-1708); in some ways similar to the Holy Trinity Church, but smaller in size, it also has a cruciform plan and 5 domes, but is 7-part due to the presence of secondary chambers only in the western pair of entering angles, and somewhat unusual due to the large diameter of these chambers; to the south of the church, in the monastery fence, there is an eastern gate.

Густинський Свято-Троїцький жіночий монастир – православна обитель у селі Густиня Чернігівської області України. Одна з визначних пам'яток українського бароко. Місце створення Густинського літопису.
На південний схід від храму святої Трійці та на північний схід від Воскресенської церкви споруджено храм в імʼя святих апостолів Петра та Павла, включений у кільце огорожі (1693-1708); у чомусь подібний до храму святої Трійці, але менший у розмірах, він також має хрестоподібний план і 5 розділів, проте є 7-частковим – за рахунок другорядних камер лише в західній парі вхідних кутів, і дещо незвичайним – за рахунок великого діаметра цих камер; на південь від храму в огорожі обителі влаштовані східні ворота.
The Trinity Monastery (Ukrainian: Троїцько-Іллінський монастир, romanized: Troits’ko-Illins’kyi monastyr) is a former Orthodox monastery in the city of Chernihiv in northeastern Ukraine.
The original monastery of St. Elijah the Prophet on Boldina Hill seems to have been founded by Saint Anthony of Pechersk in the 11th century, but was abandoned after the Mongol invasion of 1239. One tiny church survives from that period.
The new Trinity monastery was founded nearby by Bishop Lazar Baranovych in 1649. In the neighbouring city of Novhorod-Siverskyi, Baranovych founded a printing press, which was rare at the time. He later transferred the printing press to the Trinity Monastery. The monastery's adjacent printing press was famed for their production of engravings, and its library — for containing more than 11,000 books.
The main church, or the katholikon, was constructed between 1679 and 1695 to designs by Johann Baptist Sauer, a master builder from Wilno. This church has seven pear-shaped cupolas. It is considered a high point of Ukrainian Baroque architecture (as practiced under the auspices of Hetman Ivan Mazepa).
After the monastery was closed in 1786, the Trinity cathedral was considerably rebuilt, losing four domes and most Baroque details. Its current appearance is the result of a 1980s reconstruction campaign. It has been the seat of a local bishopric since 1991.
