Description of the sight
Berdichev is primarily famous for its history. In the 19th century, due to its favorable location, this city became a major trading center. It was through him that the path from Russia to Europe ran. Numerous merchants, an abundance of goods, as well as about 130 underground passages served, in turn, to develop a smuggling network. At the end of the 19th century, a special commission was even created to stop the rampant crime here. Berdychiv is mainly inhabited by Jews, so many people call this city none other than Small or Volyn Jerusalem. In addition to synagogues, of which there are several, in Berdychiv there is a monastery-fortress of the Order of Discalced Carmelites, founded in the 17th century by the Polish governor Janusz Tishkevich. And in another church - St. Barbara - Honore de Balzac was married. Berdychiv has retained the charm of the past centuries to this day, you can be convinced of this by visiting the historical center of the city.
