It is situated in the old Jewish quarter and depicts a collective historical image through the incorporation of old houses and construction elements.

The city itself is known for its cordial and welcoming inhabitants, and the local gastronomy is characterized by specialties such as fish dishes and a unique delicacy of cheese soaked in honey. Ukrainians, who add a touch of beauty to the city, also enjoy indulging in vodka.

And from now on, each of us has pride in our historical past, for the Magic and Uniquely beautiful city with its green parks and gardens, beautiful landscapes and pristine beauty of nature!
The city of Rivne is a city with a great potential to create a part of "Europe" in our own home and in our hearts!
And now some of the history of the foundation:
Maria Nesvitska (Rivne) (? -1518), who owned Rivne since 1479, accepting the title of Rivne.
Historians have been able to establish that Maria was the daughter of Fedko Olizar-Shilovich, a representative of the ancient Volyn family, known in the XV century.
However, it has not yet been possible to find out about the year and place of birth of the princess. Rivne was inherited by Princess Maria after the death of her husband, Prince Semyon Nesvitsky, who belonged to the Russo-Lithuanian dynasty of Princes Gediminovych.
Maria Nesvytska first settled in Gorodok, where there was probably a small castle even then.
But her attention was focused on Rivne and she persistently arranges it.
She was struck by the calm and then rich river Ustya, which had several islands.
On one of them the owner of Rivne decided to build a fortress. (Today it is the area of Avangard Stadium). Soon the castle was built. The building was made of wood, surrounded by an earthen rampart.
The princess moved her residence to Rivne and began to call herself Maria Rivne.
At that time, the city of Rivne resembled a triangle, the streets diverged in three directions: Rivne could be entered from the Kyiv side, from the Ostroh road or the Dubno road.
Since then, the symbol of the city's coat of arms is the gate, which is open for entry on three sides.
An event that gave hope for the future was the granting of the Magdeburg right, ie the right of self-government, to Rivne.
This significant event occurred, according to historians, in 1492. Since then, Rivne has been officially called a city.
Magdeburg law made it possible to accelerate the development of urban economy, to attract new settlers. On December 21, 1500, Maria Nesvytska obtained the privilege of a fair for her newly built city. And for the second time all the rights of Rivne are confirmed by the royal charter of 1507. It was given by King Zygmunt to Princess Maria for the right of eternal possession of the castle and the city. The document confirms the achievements of the city of that time and its owner. The king recognizes the right of Maria to inherit the Rivne estate to children and descendants and at her own discretion.
Maria Nesvytska is known for her charitable activities.
She allocated a significant part of her large profits for the development of Rivne, the construction of churches in their possessions. It is believed that Maria Rivne was the founder of the first church in Rivne - a wooden church near the castle, built in honor of the Resurrection of Christ. At this place is the current brick Resurrection Cathedral. Maria was also a patron of the Kiev-Pechersk Monastery.
Maria Rivnenska has been the owner of the city for almost four decades.
Maria Rivne died in 1518. Grateful descendants immortalized the name of Maria Nesvytska in the name of one of the city streets. In 2006, a monument to her was erected on Soborna Street.
