Loshyca manor-park complex represents the manor style from the latter 19th century. The first manor appeared here in the middle of the 16th century. The current manor house was built by Evstafiy Liubansky in 1880. It is a monument of architecture of a modernist style. The complex includes a house-manor, a chapel, a house-keeper house, a watermill, a distillery, economic constructions, and a picturesque park. These are magnificent larches, oaks, pines, the exotic trees existing in the single copy. The main lime avenue (from Mayakovsky street) leads to the center of the manor. The surrounding landscape is extraordinary beautiful. The heights open wide view onto green meadows, a twisting small river, breakages and lowlands with tiny rushy marshes. On the territory of the park there is the horse club, the green market with hothouses. Up till 2001 there was a branch of the National art museum in the manor. Nowadays the manor is being restored.
