One wonderful autumn morning, a group of employees of Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs went on a tour organized by the university’s trade union. The chosen route included Shidlovskykh house in Staryi Merchyk and All Saints church - the oldest church of Valkivshchyna, excursion on Sharovskyi Park, Kenig Palace, Kharitonenko Estate in Nataliivka, Spaso-Preobrazhenskyi Cathedral in Bohodukhiv District of Kharkiv Region.

We used to live in the big city, and we do not even realize that there are a lot of incredible, mysterious and beautiful places nearby, inspiring by their beauty and uniqueness. The excursion through the old manor houses provided an opportunity to plunge into history and learn more about the glorious past of our land and people who defined the era.

Sunny and warm weather contributed to a good mood. The palaces were particularly elegant - none of them repeated the other, and the surrounding landscapes left no traveler indifferent, they wanted to take pictures as much as possible!

We would like to thank the administration of the university and the union for a wonderful holiday and unforgettable impressions.
