About reserve

The perpetuation of the memory of the Battle of Poltava as well as the battle site started early 18th century. Gradually, a museum town allegorically named as “Swedish grave” appeared around the common grave of Tsar Peter I’s army warriors. The first Poltava Battle Museum was opened here in 1909, and in 1950 it was reopened again.
In 1981 the entire Poltava battlefield was declared a National Historical and Cultural Reserve, which protected area is 720 hectares. Arii-Leon Vaingort (1912-1994), the Chief Architect of Poltava in 1938-1970, played an important role in its creation. (карта-схема заповідника)
The complex of monuments “Poltava Battlefield” is listed in the State Register of Immovable Monuments of Ukraine as an Object of National History (Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 09.09.2009, No. 928, protection number 160009-H).
Today the “Poltava Battlefield” State Reserve is an important scientific and methodological center, as well as a place that attracts many tourists from all continents. The events of the Great Northern War are of special interest of Europeans, since its participants were the ancestors of present day Swedes, Russians, Ukrainians, Finns, Norwegians, Danes, Germans, Poles, Turks, Moldovans, Belarusians, British, Lithuanians, Estonians, Latvians, and Czechs.
