Dunfermline Abbey

In 1070, Margaret, the granddaughter of King Edmund II Ironside of England, married King Malcolm III of Scotland in Dunfermline. The queen was so enamored with these lands that she decided to establish a religious community there and invited Benedictine monks from Canterbury. Thus, in 1072, Dunfermline Abbey was founded. Initially, this monastery—probably built on the site of the church where Malcolm and Margaret were married—had rather modest dimensions. However, by 1128, under the decree of David I, the sixth son of the royal couple who had ascended to the throne of Scotland at the time, it was significantly expanded. Later, it was connected by a covered walkway to the royal palace in Dunfermline.

The ruins of St.Illya's Church

The ruins of St. Illya's Church, a partially submerged and partially ruined sanctuary of the old village of Tsybli, were built in the early 20th century. In the 1930s, brigades fighting against religion attacked and vandalized the church, later converting it into a grain storage facility. In 1960, due to the construction of the Kaniv Hydroelectric Power Plant, some villages located on the banks of the Dnieper River, including Tsybli, were flooded

Now the church is located on a tiny island.
