Description:
Church of St. Nicholas. Staryi Sambir. Sambir district
Abstract:

The Teresian-type church was built in 1830 according to the project of Yosyf Vandrushka. In the place of the altar of the ancient wooden church, a memorial roadside chapel of St. Nicholas was erected, which resembles a two-story temple building in a pillar shape. The painting ensemble in the interior of the church - icons and wall painting - was made by Andriy Demkovych, a painter from Staryi Sambir. In the polychromy of the church, Christian meanings are combined with a specially accented secular elements. In particular, in the choirs of the church, the universality of Ukraine is symbolically embodied in the images of the graves of fighters for its will with birch (Western Ukrainian People's Republic) and equal-armed stone (Ukrainian People's Republic) crosses. The carving and painting ensemble of the iconostasis, side altars, Mountain Seat and ark has significant artistic value. The oldest monument of the church is the unique bell of 1638, which was transferred from the previous church.
