Countess Uvarova House, Vorzel

The Countess Uvarova House is a museum of regional history in Vorzel with a distinctive tower topped by a weather vane. The collection documents local heritage within the historic rooms of the estate, which is surrounded by gardens.

The house was built in 1902 as a private residence and served as the summer home of the Uvarova family until 1917. After they emigrated, the building served as a school for many years before eventually opening to the public as a museum.

The house takes its name from the countess who lived here, reflecting the tastes of a wealthy family in the early 1900s. The rooms show how educated people of that era lived and what art and objects they collected.

The museum is reached via Kurortna Street, where the main entrance is located at number 37A. The best times to visit are Tuesday through Saturday, when the house is open to visitors.

The building once served as a schoolhouse for a noted Ukrainian writer who received his education here. This unexpected connection to literary history adds an additional cultural layer to the place.
