Today, the era of castles, palaces and estates has gone into the distant past... But we have an amazing opportunity to look into this past... and even though much of what is available to us today has already been subject to the destructive influence of time, this will not prevent us from fully experiencing the grandeur of the palace today recognized as a masterpieceestate architecture, erected at the end of the 18th century in the village of Stary Merchik - on the Shidlovsky estate. But the first thing you will see is the Church of All Saints - a small but solemn church that has stood on this site for more than 200 years!
And the splendor of the Sharovsky Castle-Palace is simply “breathtaking”! At the beginning of the 20th century, under the last owner, sugar factory Leopold König, the castle, which had been rebuilt many times, took on its final form.Sharovsky Park, founded at the beginning of the 19th century, is today the best monument of landscape architecture in the Kharkov region.
Another estate founded at the turn of the century in the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, associated with the name of sugar refiners Ivan and his son Pavel Kharitonenko. The estate was named after his granddaughter - Natalevka. The park and the estate have undergone significant changes, but the surviving templeThe Most Merciful Savior, will blow your mind! And in this is the merit of those who, with intelligence and love, a century ago
Krasnokutsk Arboretum is a natural monument created by the brother of the founder of Kharkov University Vasily Karazin - Ivan Karazin. Autumn is the time when foliage on trees and shrubs and grass bloom especially beautifully. Nature, already bizarre and surprising with its diversity, becomes even more beautiful! Every bush, every tree in the park, and there are more than 300 species, has its own history - interesting and educational. The island of love, a tree of luck for love or money, picturesque lakes, a cave with a temple - part of the surviving underground structures of the Cossack Petropavlovsk monastery The 17th century, Baba Yaga's hut and much more awaits you in this protected corner of the Kharkov region.
In a secluded picturesque corner between Krasnokutsk and the village of Gorodnee you can find amazing place- Singing terraces. And to maintain the intrigue... we will reveal all the secrets of the Terraces on the spot!
If the group wishes, you can visit the art museum in the village. Parkhomovka. Its second name, “Rural Hermitage,” sounds shocking, but it’s close to the truth! This unique phenomenon! In the outback of the Kharkov region (70 km from Kharkov), thanks to the enthusiasm of local teacher Afanasy Lunev and schoolchildren, a collection of paintings and exhibits was collected that no city museum could envy! Original paintings: Shishkin, Levitan, Repin, Vasnetsov, Kandinsky, Roerich. Originals by Gauguin and Monet. And the pride of the museum is “Dove of Peace” by Pablo Picasso! The museum is located in the former mansion of Count Ivan Podgorichani; the ensemble of his estate included the Holy Intercession Church of 1808.
All this splendor is worth seeing once and you will want to come back here again! The places are interesting not only from the point of view of the arrangement of estates and gardening culture in the Kharkov region, they are also historical. There is something to see and something to listen to!

What's interesting here?
“Sugar” castle of Koenig is perhaps, if not the most beautiful place in the Kharkov region, then in the Bogodukhovsky district - 100%. Everyone who has ever been there comes and enthusiastically tells their friends about what they saw. It’s not for nothing that wedding photo shoots take place almost every day on the territory of this palace. Let's look at the photo.
Looking at the photographs, it becomes clear why people come here from all over the country. And even photographs cannot convey the feeling that those who have been there usually try to retell. Amazing beauty, very dilapidated buildings, sometimes it even seems that it is better not to touch anything, every step, railing, and walls are so saturated with antiquity. Nearby there is a wonderful alley of trees, the branches of which grow straight up. Previously, they were cut so that the carriage could freely come and go from the castle.
Objects on the estate:
- towers in the Gothic style;
— a cascade of artificial ponds;
— stone bridges and fountains;
— the palace itself has 3 halls and 26 rooms!
- and much more.
A little history
A little about the history of this magical place (we are very lucky that it is so close to Kharkov!).
The construction of the castle began in 1836, when landowner Pavel Olkhovsky ordered the construction of the Sharovskaya estate on the banks of the Merchik River, and a park around it. But the estate acquired its name only when in the 19th century it had a new owner - Baron Leopold Koenig. Since then local residents They call this building the “sugar castle.”
If you study the life history of these people, you can find boring moments and, on the contrary, very interesting ones. There are even legends. But as often happens, popular tourist places guides and tour guides often come up with different stories to make it interesting and exciting. The travel agency "Savages" prefers to indicate only the facts in order to be closer to our real and truthful history. You can invent a legend in 5 minutes, but is it better than what actually happened?
