Ivankiv Historical and Local Lore Museum
Architect: unknown
Description: Originally a single-storey brick manor house, the building was constructed as the residence of Count Ivan Proskura. In February 1981, it was converted into a local history museum. In the early days of the invasion, a Russian shell struck the museum building, causing a severe fire. The historic manor was completely gutted: the original timber roof collapsed, the internal floor structures gave way, and only the charred brick walls remained standing. The museum caretaker, Anatolii Kharytonenko, together with several local residents, risked his life to rescue a number of valuable objects from the burning building.
