Historical Museum, Beregomet

The historical museum in Berehomet is one of the youngest in Bukovyna. However, in its short history, it has already become the cultural center of the village. After visiting it, you will learn a lot of interesting details about the history, life and culture of the locals, and nearby you will explore the Vyzhnytsia National Park.

The exhibits are thematically divided into 3 expositions. In total, the museum's collection includes more than a thousand items. Among them, you will be able to see materials from archaeological excavations in the Vyzhnytsia district, a large number of household items, historical documents and photographs from the 19th and 20th centuries.

The topic of Berehomet enterprises, which once played a significant role in the modern history of the town, such as the Berehomet timber mill and collective farm, is highlighted separately. A separate exhibition is dedicated to them.

The museum was opened in late 2012. The opening was preceded by the painstaking work of local activists to collect the collection and organize the exposition. The institution performs not only the function of a museum, its employees are actively searching for new exhibits, engaged in local history, and holding educational events.

Berehomet is an urban-type settlement. The Seret River flows through the village. There is a mountain called Stizhok near the river. According to one theory, the name Berehomet comes from the German word Berg (mountain). According to another version, the name Berehomet comes from the fact that the Seret River "throws its banks". Today the population of the village is 7741 people.

Berehomet has several landmarks associated with the life of the noble Vasylko family (Mykola Vasylko, a politician who devoted most of his life to defending the rights of Ukrainians in the Austrian Empire). The most striking building, the Vasylkiv Castle, which existed in the early twentieth century, has not been preserved in its original form. At 12 Tsentralna Street, the former summer residence of the Vasylko family (now the village hospital) has been preserved. In 1890, Mykola Vasylko founded the Berehomet Arboretum. It covers an area of 1 hectare and is home to 54 species of trees and shrubs. The pearl of the park is two golden larch trees.
