General information about Stara Talalaivka

The village of Stara Talalaivka is located 5 kilometers south of Talalaivka, not far from highway N-07 "Kyiv - Sumy".

It has been known since 1629 as the village of Talalaivka in the possessions of magnate Yarema Vyshnevetskyi. Probably, the name comes from the outdated word "talala" - a person who lispted (this could be the founder of the settlement), or from the surname or nickname of the founder.

Holy Assumption Church

Temple , Architecture

The wooden Church of the Assumption in the village of Stara Talalaivka is one of the most beautiful examples of wooden architecture in the Chernihiv region.

The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in 1775 as the ancestral tomb of the Mazaraki family, which then owned the village. At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, the Church of the Assumption was reconstructed under the leadership of former military engineer Volodymyr Buzovsky.

The richly decorated eight-domed church is located on a small hill near the lake. On both sides there are two octagonal towers (in the southern part there is a belfry and stairs leading to the choir).

The iconostasis of the 18th-19th centuries and the wall paintings of the beginning of the 20th century have been preserved.

In Soviet times, the Church of the Assumption was the only active church in the entire district. Now the temple belongs to the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate.
