Що вас очікує

This route by the Tourist and Local Lore Centre of Dunaivtsi City Council explains how a small Podillia town became the 'Podillia Manchester'. In the 1830s Count Krasinski invited German cloth makers to Dunaivtsi, and the town turned into a textile centre. Stops include the Krasinski palace, the Lutheran kirk built for German colonists, the 18th-century Capuchin monastery, the Zavoiko manor, St Michael the Archangel Roman Catholic church and St Michael's Orthodox church. The walk is best finished at the local history museum, whose 8 halls hold more than 4,000 exhibits. The tour can be booked through the Centre.
