Lesia Ukrainka's house in Kolodiazhne, Literary museum in Kolodiazhne, Ukraine.
Lesia Ukrainka's house in Kolodiazhne is a museum site with two preserved buildings, the White House and the Grey House, displaying her personal belongings and living spaces. Both structures present furniture, books, and everyday objects that offer insight into how she lived.
The Kosach family moved to the estate in 1882 and settled there for more than two decades. The property became a museum in 1949 to preserve the legacy of the writer and her household.
The site carries the family name Kosach, the household that lived on the estate and produced the writer. Visitors can see the rooms where she lived and worked, understanding how her daily life unfolded.
The museum sits in a rural setting and can be explored on foot, allowing time to visit both buildings. The best time to visit is during warmer months when the paths are dry and accessible.
The White House features a veranda with a specially constructed solarium built for the writer, where she could write and recuperate. This small addition demonstrates how her family integrated her health needs and creative space into daily living.
