Kamin-Kashyrskyi District is the northeastern part of Volyn, a genuine Polissia with forests, swamps, and the Prypiat and Stokhid rivers. The area is 4.7 thousand square kilometres, with 5 hromadas and over 130 thousand residents. In 2020, the district incorporated the former Kamin-Kashyrskyi, Manevychi, and Liubeshiv districts. The center is the town of Kamin-Kashyrskyi.
Kamin-Kashyrskyi
The town stands on the Tsyr River. In the center are the remains of the ancient "Zamok" (Castle) hillfort, which was explored by archaeologists from the Volyn Regional Museum. The oldest landmarks are the Dominican church and chapel from the first half of the 17th century, as well as Saint Elijah's Church, an architectural monument of national significance.
Liubeshiv
An urban-type settlement on the banks of the Stokhid, first mentioned in 1484. Legend connects its name to a hunter named Liubash. The cells of the Piarist monastery have been preserved here — Tadeusz Kościuszko studied in its school — along with the church and cells of the 18th-century Capuchin monastery and the estate entrance gate.
Stokhid and Prypiat
The main natural wealth of the district is the Prypiat-Stokhid National Nature Park. The Stokhid splits into dozens of branches amid floodmeadows, which is why it is loved by kayakers and birdwatchers. Located within the Manevychi hromada is the Cheremsky Nature Reserve with its swamps and lakes.
