Lityn Museum of Local Lore

Museum / gallery

The Ustym Karmalyuk Lityn Museum of Local Lore was opened in 1980 in the entrance gate of the former Lityn Fortress Prison. The prison castle in Lityn was built at the beginning of the 19th century according to a typical project by O. Zakharov next to the old Polish castle, which has not survived. From 1813 to 1835, the national hero Ustym Karmalyuk, the leader of the local insurgents, was detained here four times. In 1832, awaiting execution, he was able to escape by dismantling the ceiling of his cell. This was one of the many escapes that Karmalyuk managed to carry out from prisons and hard labor during his struggle. The museum's collection includes about 8,000 items. The main exposition tells about the causes, development and consequences of the insurgent movement in Podillya in 1813-35. The building of the prison with a cell where Karmalyuk was kept is also preserved (now on the territory of the district consumer union, access is limited).
