Voronovytsia (Ukrainian: Вороновиця) is an urban-type settlement in Vinnytsia Raion of Vinnytsia Oblast in Ukraine. It is located on the banks of the Voronka, a left tributary of the Southern Bug. Voronovytsia hosts the administration of Voronovytsia settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] Population: 6,246 (2022 estimate)[2]
Voronovytsia is one of the places that claims to be the birthplace of aviation. In 1876, Alexander Mozhaysky flew a small shuttle on casters, with a spring inside, a wing and a propeller, which he called a "flyer." Mozhaysky later built the first heavier-than-air aircraft in Voronovytsia. The village was named after the Voronka River, and the settlement appeared in 1545. In 1748, by order of King August III, Voronovytsia became a town. The settlement's main attraction is the palace of Grocholski-Mozhaysky, where Mozhaysky lived and worked for seven years. The palace is an example of early classicism, and it has 43 rooms spread over 2500 square meters of total space.[3]
