Neo-Gothic building in Novo-Porichchia

According to ТСН: In the village of Novo-Porichchia in Khmelnytskyi region, there is a neo-Gothic structure built in the second half of the 18th century. Currently, it is used as a barn. This is one of four buildings on one street that have survived to this day, while two others have suffered significant damage.

The owner of the building, Mykhailo Flora, has owned it since 1979. He stated that the structure is used for storing potatoes, livestock, and other agricultural needs.

Local historian Dmytro Polyukhovych, a member of the public organization 'Ukraine Incognito', noted that the building was constructed in the second half of the 18th century. Among its architectural features is a pseudo-window made of narrow bricks, which imitates a frame and a pane. It is suggested that previously, beehives from the court apiary of Countess Ihnatyieva wintered here.

Polyukhovych also pointed out that the entire street in Novo-Porichchia is built in the neo-Gothic style, but there are no archival data on the construction of the buildings. The structures were built at different times, approximately from the mid-18th to the early 19th century. Among other buildings on the street were a cart shed, a stable, and granaries.

The head of the culture department of the Hordytsia City Council, Oleg Fedorov, noted that only the 'Horned School', which now hosts the village museum, has the status of a local significance architectural object.
