Shevchenko’s grove

August 24, 2023

Shevchenko Grove is situated on the wooded hills near Lviv's prominent park High Castle.  Here, on the territory of 60 hectares, museum's creators placed over 120 architectural sites and a bulk of folk life objects, which were brought here from Western Ukraine's various corners. In doing so they skillfully used natural relief that is surprisingly reminiscent of Carpathian landscapes. The whole territory of the museum of folk architecture and life is provisionally divided into six historical and ethnographical zones: Boykovshchina, Lemkivshchina, Guzulshchina, Bukovina, Podillia and Lvivshchina. Each of them is a mini-village with all attributes of 18th-19th centuries' country life that were typical for one or another Western Ukraine's people. Shevchenko's Grove's architectural complex consists of ancient huts and household buildings, churches, smithy, sawmill, water and wind mills.
