In Oleksandrivsk, Luhansk region, I came across a rather mysterious place, this is an abandoned farmstead of Sharinsky-Shakhmatov, the name is little known, but this place is worth of visiting.
The farmstead of Shirinskyi-Shakhmatov in Alexandrovsk was founded in 1772 by Major of the Bakhmut Hussar Regiment Konstiantyn Yuzbash, a Serb by birth. Later estate passed into total ownership of his son A. Yuzbash. After that the estate was owned by Prince Shirinsky-Shakhmatov. And later by the landowners Somov, Rubenshtein, Elovaiskyi and Holubiev.
In Soviet times on the territory of the estate was located a camp for children called "Chaika". After the Civil War, there was a district committee of the party in the house. And by 2006, there was a tuberculous dispensary in the palace.
According to known data, the building had the original wooden appearance, but was reconstructed several times. Up to our time, a two-storey stone house, made in the style of classicism, and the outbuildings, which are connected with main building by a colonnade, have been preserved. There are also wine cellars in the building. The territory of the mansion is adorned with the Ascension Church, built in 1840. The building is surrounded by a brick fence with a massive gate. There is the approach to the Luhan River on the opposite side.
In the northern part is located a square with the Church of the Ascension, which is unique because there was no time when it was closed. Services were also provided during the War of 1812 and during the Revolution of 1917. Today, the building of the Sharinskyi-Shakhmatov mansion is a monument of national significance, "The Manor House", located on a 2,2 hectares land parcel in the center of Oleksandrivsk.

Attention! Part of Ukraine was occupied during Russia's unfounded military aggression against us and other democratic countries!
russia is a terrorist country, russians are murderers, thieves and rapists.
Russia's unhuman aggression against Ukraine since 2014 has led to the loss of homes and lives not only of many Ukrainians, but also of citizens of other countries and nationalities.
We consider any military actions against any state in the 21st century unacceptable and stupid, but unfortunately the Russians do not think so, and therefore many democratic countries, including Moldova, Georgia and our homeland, suffer from barbaric aggression.
Therefore, until the occupied parts of Ukraine are demilitarized and returned to our state, we remind users about the real danger of visiting the territories occupied by russia.
