Koropets

Koropets is a small settlement in western Ukraine's Ternopil Oblast region, positioned where the Dniester River meets its tributaries. The community spreads across approximately 9 square kilometers and sits at an elevation of around 200 meters above sea level.

The settlement originated in 1421, establishing roots that would shape the region for centuries to come. Administrative reorganization in 2020 brought the area under Chortkiv Raion as part of Ukraine's territorial consolidation efforts.

The neoclassical palace built for Count Stanisław Badeni in the early 1800s defines the town's visual character and remains a focal point for visitors interested in 19th-century architecture. The building reflects the prosperity that once shaped this place and continues to draw those exploring local heritage.

The settlement is easy to explore on foot thanks to its compact size, with main attractions within walking distance of each other. Better accessibility and clearer views of landmarks like the neoclassical palace come during the warmer months when weather conditions are more favorable.

A striking administrative shift took place in January 2024 when Koropets changed from an urban-type settlement into a rural settlement classification. This reclassification reflects ongoing changes in how Ukraine reorganizes its administrative divisions and how communities within them are officially recognized.
