Hoholeve

Hoholeve is one of the most beautiful and interesting places to relax, founded only in 1902. The settlement’s period of prosperity fell in the second half of the 20th century, when gas and oil deposits were found there.

However, to many tourists, the small village of Hoholeve is known in Poltava Oblast and in Ukraine for its history, which is closely connected with the life of the famous writer M. V. Hohol. It is here that the manor-museum dedicated to the writer is located. It was opened to mark the 175th anniversary of Hohol. In the purpose-built building, the architect made every effort to recreate the writer’s parental home, using photographs and drawings. The museum displays exhibits connected with the Hohol family, the writer’s life and his work.

Those who want to feel the character of Ukrainian nature, which inspired and is often described in Hohol’s immortal stories, should definitely visit Hoholeve.
