Description:
Церква Положення поясу Пресвятої Богородиці в с. Мацошин збудована у 1886–1888 рр. в неовізантійсько-романському стилі за проєктом Сильвестра Гавришкевича.
Abstract:

The church was built in 1886–1888 according to the project of the Ukrainian architect Sylvestr Havryshkevych, a member of the Polytechnic Society in Lviv, a construction advisor in the Galicia Governorship. Brick, single-domed. The architecture of the church combines the neo-Byzantine cross-dimensional spatial composition with neo-Romanesque decoration elements. In the interior, the building is spacious and light, with a mural by the famous artist Kornylo Ustyyanovych, painted in an academic manner (the mural is partially repainted). The artist's signature and the date – 1895 have been preserved in the right shoulder of the church. Apparently, Ustyyanovych was also the author of the icons of the high five-tiered iconostasis (some icons were repainted). The interior decoration of the church demonstrates an example of a complex professional solution, typical for the last decades of the 19th century in Galicia.
