The village of Vilkhovets is spread among the streams and ravines of the valley of the river Ros, 10 kilometers east of Bohuslav. The name is related to the alder forest that was here in ancient times.
Near the village above Ros, there is a fortress fortified with a rampart, where, according to legend, local residents defended themselves from Tatar raids.
Vilkhovets was mentioned for the first time in 1700, when the Saint Michael's Church was founded. The current wooden church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in the 19th century.
Село Вільховець розкинулося серед балок і ярів долини річки Рось в 10 кілометрах на схід від Богуслава. Назва пов'язана з вільховим лісом, який був тут в давнину.
Поблизу села над Россю знаходиться укріплене валом городище, де, за переказами, місцеві жителі оборонялися від набігів татар.
Вперше Вільховець згадується в 1700 році, коли була заснована Михайлівська церква. Нинішній дерев'яний храм Успіння Пресвятої Богородиці збудований в XIX столітті.
Assumption Church
Temple , Architecture
The wooden Church of the Assumption in Vilkhovets was built in the 19th century on the site of the old Saint Michael's Church, known since 1700.
The church is nine-rubble five-headed, with a complex composition of volumes, which is rare for the Kyiv region. The top is made in the pseudo-Byzantine style, which makes the church similar to the temples of the princely period. Ancient paintings in the interior have been partially preserved.
On the territory is the grave of Kolotnovska, the wife of a local priest.
