Malyn

The historic town of Malyn stretches along both banks of the Irsha River, which adds to the picturesque character of its local landscapes. The town was founded during the reign of Prince Ihor. It is believed that the uprising of the Drevlians, led by the local prince Mala, arose after one of his tribute collections. The approximate date of the town’s founding is 891. Malyn flourished in the years when it became part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In the 19th century, Germans, Jews, Czechs, and Poles began building new industrial facilities in the town. However, a substantial contribution to construction was made by the family of the famous traveler Mykola Miklouho-Maklay. His mother bought an estate and later began investing in the construction of new buildings.
