General information about Assumption of the Virgin & Holy Trinity Church (Svirzh)

The Castle Church of the Assumption of the Virgin was built in Svirzh in 1546 by the magnate Andriy Svirzhsky on the site of a wooden church of the 15th century.

After several reconstructions, the church acquired a Renaissance appearance, although it was originally Gothic. Above the entrance you can see the remains of the noble coat of arms of the former owners.

An underground passage led to the church from the castle, which can still be traced in the moat near the drawbridge.

In Soviet times, the temple was used as a warehouse.

In 1994, the church building was handed over to the faithful of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. The temple was consecrated as the Church of the Holy Trinity and the Assumption of the Virgin. The restoration has been carried out.

Замковий костел Успіння Пресвятої Богородиці в був збудований в Свіржі в 1546 році магнатом Андрієм Свірзьким на місці дерев'яного храму XV сторіччя.

Після кількох реконструкцій костел набув ренесансного вигляду, хоча спочатку був готичним. Над входом можна побачити рештки шляхетського герба колишніх господарів.

До костелу від замку вів підземний хід, який і зараз простежується у рові біля підйомного мосту.

За радянських часів храм використовувався під склад.

В 1994 році будівлю костелу передали вірянам Української греко-католицької церкви. Храм освятили як церкву Святої Трійці та Успіння Богородиці. Проведена реставрація.
