Library building of XIX century

A monument of architecture of local importance(security number 2133 M). The public building was built in the second half of the XIX century and was part of the business and cultural center of the historical center of Kremenets.

The house was built as a typical residential building of its era with pronounced elements of the classicism style: with a basement room and a tent gable roof framed by a pediment on the southeast side of the facade.

During the Second World War, the adjacent territories around the building, by order of the head of the occupation administration district commissioner Miller, were fenced and turned into a Jewish ghetto. In 1942, the library building was severely damaged in a fire, as only the ground floor survived, while the ghetto was completely destroyed.

After the war, the building was rebuilt with the preservation of its original architectural features and functionally transformed for the needs of the children’s town library, which is still located there today.

At the current stage, according to its functional purpose, the building performs cultural, educational, administrative and economic functions, accommodating the economic department of the Kremenets-Pochaiv Reserve on the ground floor and The Kremenets town branch of the Juliusz Słowacki Public Library for children on the first floor.
