Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The stone, one-story, cruciform church is one of the masterpieces of Ukrainian Art Nouveau architecture of the first third of the twentieth century, based on a reinterpretation of the forms of the Cossack Baroque. The church is one of the best realized church projects by the prominent Ukrainian architect Serhiy Tymoshenko, a leading student of Vasyl Krychevsky, the founder of Ukrainian Art Nouveau architecture. The church was built with adjustments by architectural engineer Oleksandr Pezhansky in 1929, with construction by engineer Lev Shelevych. The end of the ramen with four lanterns creates the impression of a five-story church. The interior is distinguished by a highly artistic ensemble of 10 stained-glass windows made by the Krakow firm of S. Zhelenski under the supervision of Bohdan Lepkyi according to the designs of the outstanding artist of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco eras, Petro Kholodnyi the Elder. The mural was painted in 1991, shortly after the church resumed worship, by local painters, father and son Vasyl and Oleksandr Kravchuk.
