Description:
Church of St. Michael the Archangel, Verin village, Stryi district
Abstract:

Since 1620 there was a wooden church of the Nativity in the village of Verin. The patron of the church is the Stanisław Count Skarbek Foundation. The old church was dismantled after 1938. A wooden bell tower has been preserved, which is an architectural monument of the XVIII century. In 1907, at a meeting of the church committee, it was decided to begin construction of a new brick church. The project of the church was ordered from the architect Vasyl Nahirny. Construction began in the spring of 1909. In 1921, Vasyl Nahirny died and his son Yevhen continued the architectural supervision of the church. Construction continued with interruptions until 1929. In 1932, during the rectorate of Fr. Mykola Kindii, the church was consecrated in honor of St. Michael the Archangel. In 2007-2019, the church was painted by the artist Mykola Havryliv. The stained glass windows were designed by Lubomyr Medved.
