Description:
Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Brodky village, Stryi district
Abstract:

The church was built on the initiative of Fr. Hippolyta Pogoretsky. The original design and estimates were made by Lviv architect Albin Zagurski in 1891. The estimate reached 14,000 Roman gold pieces, and the richest parishioner, the owner of the estate, Emil Torosevych, an Armenian by nationality, agreed to allocate 9,000. Due to financial troubles and political unrest, the construction was delayed, and starting in 1904 it was carried out according to the project of Vasyl Nahirny. It was completed in 1908 and consecrated by Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky in 1912, as evidenced by the table in the middle of the church. The carvings of the vicarage row of the iconostasis were made by Andriy Koverko. The altar icon of the Virgin Mary Immaculate Conception belongs to the brush of Osyp Kurylas. The church's polychrome was painted in 2003 by the Drohobych artel of artists (Serhii Bulko, Ihor Leskiv, Ihor Oryshchak, and Yevhen Khrunyk).
