Historical and Cultural Complex «Zaporizhzhya Sich»

Caring about the reconstruction of historical memory and the return to the centuries-old traditions of the Zaporizhzhia Cossacks on the territory of the National Reserve «Khortytsia» the historical and cultural complex «Zaporizʹka Sich» was created. This «Sich» is not a copy of one of the eight Zaporizhzhia Sichs. This is a generalized image of the Cossack capital, which presents the main buildings inherent in Zaporizhzhia Sich's: church, kureni, house of the ataman, office, military piggy banks, school, gunshot. In the suburbs: smithy, pottery, tavern and «Greek house» for visiting guests. The historical and cultural complex «Zaporizʹka Sich» is designed to give contemporaries a holistic view of such an unique phenomenon as the Zaporizhzhia Cossacks in the history of Ukraine.
