Nativity of Virgin Church
Temple , Architecture
The stone church of the Nativity of the Virgin was founded in Starosiltsi in 1773 by the village owner Yosyp Yakubovsky near the old wooden Greek Catholic church. After his death, his butler Amalytsky and priest Dimitriy Matskevych completed the construction.
The temple is made in the Polish Baroque style. It housed the miraculous icon of the Mother of God for centuries, which was brought here by the monks of the Pochaiv Larva. Under the altar was the tomb of the builders of the temple. Presumably in the 1830s, the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin was converted to Orthodoxy.
It is an architectural landmark of local importance.
