Okhtyrka, Administrative center in Sumy Oblast, Ukraine

Okhtyrka spans across the banks of the Psel River at an elevation of 110 meters, featuring a network of streets connecting residential and commercial districts.

Founded in 1641 by Ruthenian settlers, the city transformed into a fortified settlement and became the center of the Okhtyrka Regiment by 1655.

The Cathedral of the Transfiguration stands as a central religious monument in Okhtyrka, representing the architectural traditions of northeastern Ukraine.

The city maintains connections to major highways and transportation networks, facilitating travel between other urban centers in the Sumy Oblast region.

Okhtyrka received recognition as a Hero City of Ukraine in March 2022 for defending against military operations during the Russian invasion.
