Attractions of Dubno district

Spring of Saint Anna in Onyshkivtsi is a holy spring with a bath, one of the pilgrimage centers of Orthodox believers in Volyn.

According to an old tradition, in the 17th century, there was an icon of Saint Righteous Anna at this place, and a non-freezing spring, which is considered healing, flowed from the ground.

The chapel of Saint Anna was built above the spring. The water temperature in the spring is 4 degrees throughout the year. Those who want to heal from diseases dive into the water in the open pool. Women are asked to come to the bathhouse in a long shirt.

The parish church of Saint John of Nepomuk is the only active Catholic church in the city of Dubno. It was built in 1817-1830 by the local parish priest Aloyiz Osynsky on the site of an older church. There is a stone bell tower nearby.

During the Soviet rule, the gymnasium of the local sports school was closed and transformed.

In 1991, after Ukraine gained independence, services were resumed in the church. In 1994, the church of Saint John Nepomuk in Dubno was officially handed over to the faithful of the Roman Catholic parish

It is part of the State Historical and Cultural Reserve of the city of Dubno.

The Shevchenko spring (Tarasova krynytsya) is located next to the M-06 highway "Kyiv - Chop" not far from Dubno, behind the village of Pidluzhzhia near Tarakaniv.

In the fall of 1846, the Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko rested near this spring during his trip to Volyn as an artist in the Archaeological Commission. On his way back from Pochaiv, he visited the village of Verba and the city of Dubno. According to local legend, Shevchenko drank water from this roadside well.

During Soviet times, the Shevchenko spring was beautifully decorated, and a monument to the poet was erected near it.
