The historical and cultural heritage of the village of Balanovka, in particular the watchtower "Strazhnytsia", remains little known, neglected and not used as a resource for tourism and community development. The lack of proper preservation, infrastructure, information support and inclusion in tourist routes leads to the loss of a valuable object of memory, and wasted opportunities for the cultural and economic development of the region.
