There is a lot to be said about Yarmolyntsi. But there is almost nothing to show. After all, most of the sights of the town have not survived to this day, and the city center is an example of Soviet era architecture in miniature. But, less so, Yarmolyntsi is very convenient to use as a base for exploring the surrounding villages with numerous historical monuments – Sutkivtsi, Sharivka, Zinkiv, Maliivtsi and others. Although to call it a base is a strong word: there is no hotel in town. But Yarmolyntsi is a kind of a transport hub: here you can make a change from Khmelnytskyi-Kamianets to Husiatyn. Even though, the train station is five kilometers from the town center. And remember: most transit buses do not come to the bus station in Yarmolyntsi. So you need to catch a bus in the city center.
And yet, here is a little about the history of Yarmolyntsi. It is directly related to the history of neighboring Sutkivtsi. In 1407, King Władysław Jagiello gifted Yarmolyntsi to the Hungarian descender Hotko Kroat and his son Oleksandr, together with its surrounding villages, including Sutkivtsi. During the division of the estate between the sons of Oleksander, Sutkivtsi went to Fedor, from whom came the noble family the Sutkivskyis. And Yarmolyntsi went ot Olekhn, from whom, accordingly, came the Yarmolynskyis family.
In 1445 the Yarmolynskyis built a fortress here, and in fact until the end of the 19th century a gate and 2 towers from it were preserved. After the construction of their castle with fortifications was completed, the Yarmolyntsi were transferred to the category of towns, and in 1455 they were granted the Magdeburg right. Later, another castle was built in the town.
As early as the 18th century, due to the advantageous location of Yarmolyntsi, the town began to rise. Markets and fairs were of great economic importance in the system of domestic trade. They offered agricultural products, industrial and handicraft products; during them agreements (contracts) were signed for the production, supply and sale of goods, also their demand was being studied. A significant influence on the economic development of Yarmolyntsi had the transfer here from the town of Tynna, Ushytsia district, of the largest in the Podillia province, the Peter and Paul Fair, with the assistance of Adam Orlovskyi in 1835. Due to the large volume of trade, the Peter and Paul Fair belonged to the first (highest) category.
One of the sights of the town, the church of St. Peter and Paul was built in 1793 – 1862.
In 1761 a Bernardine monastery was built in Yarmolyntsi. In 1832 it was rebuilt into an Orthodox church. Now here is the Holy Trinity Church, which does not resemble the former church building.
