Kozelets, Urban settlement in Chernihiv Oblast, Ukraine
Kozelets occupies a strategic position at 113 meters elevation in northern Ukraine, intersected by roads connecting major regional centers of Chernihiv Oblast.
The settlement dates back to 1098, maintaining its administrative status through centuries of territorial changes within the former Chernigov Governorate until 1925.
The settlement contains numerous architectural structures representing different periods of Ukrainian history, reflecting the evolution of local building traditions over centuries.
Local administration offices, markets, and educational facilities are concentrated in the central district, serving residents of both Kozelets and surrounding villages.
Recent legislative changes in 2023 initiated the transformation of Kozelets from an urban-type settlement into a new administrative category within Ukraine's territorial system.
