The large village of Lymanske is located on the shore of the Kuchurhan estuary, next to the Odesa-Tiraspol highway and the Ukrainian-Moldovan border crossing "Kuchurhan-Pervomaisk".
It was founded in 1789 by German colonists who settled near Odesa after the decree of Catherine II to allow foreigners to settle on empty lands in Russia. Until 1944, it was called Selts.
In 1901, the main Catholic church of the Kuchurhan district was built here, the ruins of which have been preserved to this day.
In Soviet times, a large military airfield was built nearby, which was disbanded in 2004.
Велике село Лиманське розташоване на березі Кучурганського лиману, поруч з трасою Одеса-Тирасполь і українсько-молдавським прикордонним переходом "Кучурган-Первомайськ".
Засноване в 1789 році німецькими колоністами, які оселилися під Одесою після указу Катерини II про дозвіл іноземцям селитися на порожніх землях в росії. До 1944 року називалося Зельц.
В 1901 році тут був споруджений головний католицький храм Кучурганського округу, руїни якого збереглися дотепер.
В радянські часи поруч був побудований великий військовий аеродром, розформований в 2004 році.
Assumption of Blessed Virgin Mary Cathedral
Temple , Architecture
The Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Lymanske (former Selc) was the main church of the Kuchurhan German Catholics.
The church, built in 1901, was considered one of the most beautiful churches in southern Ukraine. Externally, it resembled the cathedral in Salzburg (Austria), monastic churches with double baroque towers in Silesia, as well as the Benedictine abbey church in Grusnau.
Limestone served as the building material of the monumental building in the Neo-Renaissance style and two twin towers with a height of 57.9 meters.
In 1944, the church was closed. For some time the building served as an assembly hall. Now in ruins.
