Saint John the Theologian Rotunda Church

Temple , Architecture

The rotunda church of Saint John the Theologian in Shatava was built in 1839-1862 by the landowner Ratsyborivsky, after that priest Skvortsov, who inspected Podillya's churches, categorically forbade the use of the old Shatava church, uniting the parish with that of Makiv.

Soon, a strange round foundation appeared near the old cemetery. The construction of the unusual church lasted 23 years. The Church of John the Theologian is a rotunda, the inner columns of which are placed in a circle and united by arches, supporting a cylindrical light drum with a dome. The bypass gallery has a flat roof. The arched windows are made in the Neo-Gothic style. Under the cornice of the upper part of the temple there is a decorative strip with a floral ornament.

According to legend, Nestor Makhno was married here during the Soviet-Ukrainian war.
