Unrestrained joy embraces me - professional geographer when discovering these corners. Some 230 kilometers south of Kyiv - and a real discovery, almost Geographic: here you and eclectic, modern and well tetrakonh. A story that! .. But by the spring of 2011 it was unknown to me. About Zlatopil I have not heard at all, and only Novomyrhorod seen on the map. Somehow, it seemed that all the rosy interesting sites I've seen, if not the least known. Repeatedly visited Shpola, fashion bug 33 km from the city, but had no idea of the luxurious and brilliant zlatopilsku school building Novomyrgorodskiy hospital. Enlighten fashion bug me Kostenko fashion bug Viktor Ivanovich, for which he and thank you. And irresistibly glad that Ukraine is so rich and little known. While the state of most sights catching tears in his eyes. What a joy turns to tears. fashion bug
The shortest road to Novomyrhorod of Kyiv and runs through the Settlement Shpola. Pretty good road, only dvanadtsyatykilometrovyy piece from the border of Kirovograd region to travel cautiously and slowly - the road longer knew repair. I also had to approve by way of dare Cherkasy, Tashlyk and Pastoral. Such thrills do not recommend Go through better through Shpola. 20 kilometers to rabid dogs is not a hook, and if no jokes - you will save yourself both time and nerves. If you are not afraid of potholes in pivkolesa, or (like me) love to open new routes, while kryvulyayte through fashion bug Pastoral.
How would you go, but the north will get first in Zlatopil. Now it is part Novomyrhorod, and until 1959 was a separate Zlatopil city. The first written mention of it dates back 50 years we have 17th century. Then the settlement called Walk-field - typical Cossack name. In the 18th century it has been the town and called it Zlato Polje (the name is often associated with the passing of Catherine II - Empress saw gold fields and said the settlement will Zlata Paul, but in most cases, this legend is not trustworthy ).
In the 17th - mid-18th century, along with Paul Walk-in Turia village was the residence of the Polish governor. That's when the town was extensive network of underground tunnels - catacombs. Zlatopil and now just saturated with them. The exact purpose of the construction is unknown catacombs. Most likely it was a kind of subterranean fortress - a place of hiding fashion bug the villagers during the numerous raids of Tatars and Turks Wild Field. Catacombs placed at a depth of 3-4 meters. They say that some passages were lying at a depth of 9 meters. These were mostly narrow tunnels up to average height man, although legends of much larger moves.
Currently, most entrances to the catacombs buried, although there are still climbing. There are even private entities that grow mushrooms fashion bug in the catacombs. But in fact, the catacombs fashion bug is now a disaster for Zlatopolya (read Novomyrhorod), because they destroy the wall subsidence of buildings. For example, recently dropped a piece of the ancient wall of the store. An interesting and very beautiful Jewish building (Lenin str. 298) is now half-collapsed.
In the late 18th century became Zlatopil Jewish town. In 1800 he settled here even Hasidic Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav (his grave in Uman attracts each year tens of thousands of Jewish pilgrims). But in 1802 his wife died of tuberculosis Rabbi. He buried fashion bug her in zlatopilskomu Jewish cemetery and went to the best places (his last stop was Uman - after 1768 local Jewish blood).
By 1787 the town belonged to the Polish princes Lubomirski. Ksawery Lubomirski stimulated the development Zlatopolya, fairs held here, credited Jewish merchants. Lawrence Pohylevych (author of "Said at naselenыh mesnostyah Kiev province") notes that Lubomirski organized charity days when fed and watered the whole district, handed out clothes and money. Then the town became the ownership to Gregory Potemkin. But the prince had long Zlatopolem, because he died in 1791, and was succeeded by his nephew settlement - Major-General Nikolai Vysotsky. Last in 1809, in place of wooden Assumption Church built stone Nicholas, who became the burial place for the general. This architectural monument extant.
Nicholas Church was built in eclectic style. Great trohchastna building was once attached tower, which disappeared during the Soviet period. Decor is eclectic church, but the church in general and architectural forms continue traditions of Ukrainian religious architecture. Next to the church is a large market square, which now operates and markets.
In the early 19th century inhabited the advantages Zlatopil
