General information about Checheleve

The village of Checheleve is located on the right bank of the Dnieper River, on the southwestern outskirts of Kremenchuk. Administratively, it is part of the Kamianopotokivska hromada of the Kremenchuk district of the Poltava region.

The village was founded in the 18th century as a farm of the Cossack centurion Yosyp Chechel.

A memorial sign was erected in honor of the victory of the Cossack-peasant army led by Mark Zhmaol and Olifer Holub over the Polish detachments led by the crown hetman Stanisław Koniecpolski in the battle on Kurukove Lake in 1625.

A settlement of the Late Bronze Age (1st millennium BC) and three settlements of the Chernyakhiv Early Slavic culture (2nd–6th centuries) were discovered near Checheleve.

Село Чечелеве розташоване на правому березі річки Дніпро, на південно-західній околиці Кременчука. Адміністративно входить до складу Кам'янопотоківської громади Кременчуцького району Полтавської області.

Село засноване у XVIII як хутір козацького сотника Йосипа Чечеля.

Встановлено пам'ятний знак на честь перемоги козацько-селянського війська на чолі з Марком Жмалом та Оліфером Голубом над польськими загонами під проводом коронного гетьмана Станіслава Конецпольського у битві на Куруковому озері 1625 року.

Біля Чечелевого виявлено поселення пізньої бронзи (І тисячоліття до нашої ери) та три поселення Черняхівської ранньослов’янської культури (II–VI століття).

The Living Museum of Verguns in the village of Checheleve, Poltava Region, was founded in 2018 by the owner of the green tourism estate Country House UA, Nadiya Mykhailova. The museum was created to popularize the region's gastronomic brand - Kremenchuk verguns, i.e. crispy cookies made from unleavened dough.

Verguns gained popularity in the Kremenchuk region at the end of the 19th century due to the fact that their production did not require much time and expensive products. The museum stores many recipes for making these simple sweets: in milk, in whey, in sour cream, in vodka, in wine, in water, soft, fluffy, crispy, vegetable, fruit, spicy, salty, etc.

Visitors to the museum are offered a historical excursion (the emergence of verguns, legends, sayings), acquaintance with vergun recipes, ingredients and kitchen utensils, a master class on making verguns in an open-air kitchen, fun culinary entertainment, tasting verguns with vitamin tea and varenukha, a photo shoot as a keepsake.

Additional services: tractor rides, communication with animals on a mini-farm, additional dishes and drinks, a souvenir shop.
