The Cossack Church of the Intercession of the Holy Mother of God in Syniavka was founded in 1706.

The current wooden Intercession Church was built at the expense of Pavlo Yunytsky in the traditional forms of Ukrainian Baroque, characteristic of the Left Bank of Ukraine in the 17th and 18th centuries. Cut from pine logs. The central octagonal log house dominates the composition, the eastern log house is hexagonal. Their longitudinal axes in the west-east direction do not coincide, which indicates that the plans were developed at different times. The babinets is covered with a hinged top, the light lantern is covered with a flat ceiling. The forms of crowns are baroque. Window openings of various shapes play an important role in the composition.

The Church of the Intercession in Syniavka is one of the few monuments of folk architecture in Chernihiv region that has preserved its original forms.
