Verkhnya Khortytsia, Historic district in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine.
The district extends along the banks of the Dnieper River, featuring preserved structures from the 18th century and traditional agricultural landscapes near Khortytsia Island.
Established in 1790 as the capital of the Chortitza Colony, this settlement marked the beginning of Mennonite agricultural development in southern Ukraine.
The district contains architectural elements and structural remnants that illustrate the influence of Mennonite farming methods and community organization principles.
Visitors can explore the district through guided tours that connect to the broader Khortytsia National Reserve and its educational facilities.
The area maintains physical evidence of early Mennonite agricultural innovations, including original irrigation systems and field patterns from the 18th century.
