The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Pustomyty was built in 1909 on the site of a wooden three-story church that burned down in 1898. The church was designed by the kolyator Abramowicz in the Neo-Romanesque style. It is a single-nave, apexless church of the basilica type. In the center of the gable roof above the nave is a closed octagonal lantern with a dome. The altar part is equally wide with the nave and slightly lower. A low vestry is attached to the altar, and a small porch is attached to the front side of the nave. The side walls of the church are enriched by the measured rhythm of small buttresses, between which semicircular window openings are arranged (niches are made in the extreme buttresses of the same shape). The interior is spacious and bright. Its plastered and whitewashed walls and vaults are delicately covered with scenes of religious content, which successfully emphasize the architectural divisions of the building. The high four-tiered iconostasis was made in the 1930s. The icons of its upper tiers belong to the brush of Demian Horyniatkevych, and the local icons were created by Carlo Zvirynskyi.
