Oles Honchar House of Culture

The town's house of culture in western Samar, in the district between Kulebivka and the centre. Its colonnaded facade with a pediment is a typical example of mid-20th-century club architecture. The venue was formerly called the Kirov House of Culture and later renamed after Oles Honchar, the writer who made the town famous with his novel "The Cathedral". Today it is a municipal institution of the Samar City Council culture department that is undergoing a general reconstruction. Creative groups and clubs are based here, and in summer open-air concerts, including charity performances in support of the defenders, take place on its outdoor stage. Events and announcements are posted on the venue's Facebook page.
