The village of Krenychi is located between the high hills of the Kyiv plateau, 20 kilometers south of Kyiv, near Pidhirtsi.
It was first mentioned in 1586. The name is associated with a large number of springs ("wells") in these places.
In 1761, the abbess of the Theological Convent Ksanfiya Protanska built the wooden Church of the Intercession of the Virgin, which has survived to this day.

Вперше згадується в 1586 році. Назва пов'язана з великою кількістю джерел ( "криниць") в цих місцях.
В 1761 році ігуменя Богословського жіночого монастиря Ксанфія Протанська побудувала дерев'яну церкву Покрова Богородиці, яка збереглася понині.
Holy Intercession Church
Temple , Architecture
The wooden Church of the Holy Intercession was built in Krenychi in 1761 by order of the abbess of the Theological Convent of Ksanfiya Protanska.
The simple and archaic architecture of the temple goes back to the oldest examples of Ukrainian wooden architecture of the "house" type. The three-log church on a stone foundation is covered with a pitched roof with a barely protruding dome above the center. Nearby is the same archaic two-story bell tower.
Around the Intercession Church is a picturesque area reminiscent of mountains.
