The dacha-cooperative in Pawlowe-Pole
The dacha-cooperative in Pawlowe-Pole is located in the north-west of the city.
As a rule, a dacha is not used by its owners as a permanent residence and is part of a garden association. During the Soviet era, private individuals were allocated a 600 square-meter plot of land free of charge for the construction of a country cottage and the establishment of a garden, which they maintained.
On 25 March, 2022, the dachas of Pawlowe Pole and the nearby Ukrainian Orthodox church of the Kharkiv Diocese were severely damaged. A shell hit the church and destroyed almost all the stained-glass windows, the walls, and the cupola.

Velyka Danylivka
Velyka Danylivka is a suburb in the north-east of Kharkiv. Most of the houses here are detached, and there is a forest, a lake and several schools, which is why Velyka Danylivka is considered to be particularly family-friendly.
The history of the village dates back to the 17th century – at that time it was a hamlet (Ukr. Chutir), later it became a military base. The first church was built here in 1655, dedicated to St. George. In the second half of the 20th century, the village was incorporated into Kharkiv.
