Description:
Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord, Zarudtsi village, Lviv district
Abstract:

The church was built of wood in 1787 and represents a typical example of a traditional three-log, one-tier sacred building typical of Galicia. A high five-tiered iconostasis is installed in the interior. The icons of its upper tiers were painted by a well-known artist Mykola Petrakhnovych, and the carved frame was made by a Lviv craftsman Anton Shtyl’. These parts of the iconostasis were purchased from the church of St. Nicholas of the Krekhiv Monastery, which was dismantled in 1775. They are a unique monument of Ukrainian art of the mid-17th century. Place icons and side baroque altars were created for this church at the end of the 18th century. In 1955, the walls in the interior were covered with paintings in the Art Deco style. In 1963, the church, together with the bell tower, was included into the register of monuments of cultural heritage of national importance, protection No. 452.
