The team of the historical and cultural reserve “Tustan” managed to save a unique authentic Boyki house. Now it can be seen in the museum.
“Friends, our team saved a unique Boyki house!
Now there is one more attraction in Tustan! For the first time, the house was moved to the village of Urych and rebuilt. 20th century from the village of Plavya! It was installed next to another authentic hut – the cultural center of the Hut in Hlubokym. The building already serves as a photo booth for visitors, and will eventually become another heritage tourism site.
This is a significant event for the team, because this idea has been nurtured for more than one year! It is symbolic that this project was implemented precisely during a full-scale war. After all, he preserved for posterity an original sample of Ukrainian architectural identity. The salvaged house from the village of Plavya with a carved gallery is one of the last surviving examples of the local school of folk construction. Such objects disappear en masse and without a trace along with the construction of villages,” the museum notes.
Andrii Kotlyarchuk, director of the reserve, initiator and project manager, believes that this is not the last time such a project is implemented in Tustan. After all, the preservation and multiplication of authentic buildings within the tourist destination is important for the sustainable development of the village of Urych, for the preservation of its tourist potential.
The Tustani team is ready to share the project experience with all those who are interested.
“Thank you to the donors for the opportunity to save this monument! The project was implemented with the financial support of the Cultural Emergency Response of the Organization for Response to Emergency Situations in the Field of Culture (CER), the Netherlands, with the assistance of the “Tustan” LOGO and the “Tustan” reserve,” the museum added.
