According to Tytarenko, the object, which had been decaying for years due to indifference, has now been virtually wiped out by the strikes of the Russian army.
It was one of the most interesting pearls of the Sumy region… and completely destroyed by the Russian army
The estate had high historical value: Taras Shevchenko once stayed here, leaving sketches and etudes in the house. The architectural complex included an underground part with a tunnel, and the facades and interiors were decorated with unique wooden carved elements, which are now completely lost. Only the stone frame survived.
The local historian emphasizes that even in its ruined state, the object needs protection.
The remains must be preserved and conserved for future restoration… the state must continue to protect even destroyed cultural heritage sites
