Attractions of Fastiv

Fastiv Museum of Local Lore is located in the historic building of the bank (late XIX century), which is an example of the so-called borderless architecture in "brick" style. The museum was founded in 1990, although its collection began to be created in the 1970s. The current exhibition is based on the results of archaeological research, ethnographic expeditions, searches in the archives. Among the materials of the historical department there are rare archival and photographic materials, as well as historical objects that tell about the stay in the Fastiv Directory of the UPR, the battle near Motovylivka, the Unification of the UPR and ZUNR and other events. Of particular interest is the current model of the railway and other exhibits about the one and a half century history of the Fastiv railway.
