Nivki

Nivki - a park-monument of landscape gardening in Kiev. The thread consists of the western and eastern parts, which the railway conditionally shares.

The park in this place was organized in 1972. During the time of the Russian Empire, these lands belonged to Governor General Illarion Vasilchikov and were called among the people of the "Vasilchikovskaya Cottage". Dacha occupied an area of approximately 60 hectares, on which ponds, forests, hay meadows, gardens and a two-story mansion were located. After the death of the general, his wife gave all the lands to the Holy Trinity Monastery, which she herself founded. After the October Revolution, the land was nationalized, but only in the 1930s did the party pay attention to it. The territory was fenced with a large fence and arranged a summer residence for the highest officials of the party.

The cottage changed its name depending on the owner: cottage Lyubchenko, Kaganovich, Khrushchev, Korotchenko. In the 90s, the cottage was desolate and sold to private owners. Today, the party cottage complex is desolate, but in some utility rooms they have equipped a restaurant and art school. In 1962, the park was given to the city and allowed everyone to visit. At the same time, the park was named "Park named after the XII Congress of the CPSU", in 1972 it was given the status of a monument of landscape gardening and was given the name "Nivka".
