General information about Nativity of Most Holy Virgin Church (Brody)

The Church of the Nativity of the Most Holy Virgin (the so-called "Great Church") was the main Orthodox church of Brody for several centuries.

It was probably founded in the 16th century. It is believed that the first wooden temple was built in 1600. The stone church was rebuilt in 1749, and in the 19th century a clock was installed in the bell tower.

Paintings were made in the first half of the 20th century (Anatol Yablonskyi, Mykhaylo Osinchuk, Mykola Fedyuk).

During both world wars, the Nativity of Most Holy Virgin Church was not damaged, and in Soviet times it was the only functioning church in the city. It currently belongs to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.

Церква Різдва Пресвятої Богородиці (так звана "Велика церква") протягом кількох століть була головним православним храмом міста Броди.

Заснована, ймовірно, у XVI сторіччі. Вважається, що перший дерев'яний храм було збудовано в 1600 році. У камені церква була відбудована в 1749 році, а в XIX столітті у дзвіницю вмонтували годинник.

У першій половині ХХ століття було зроблено розписи (Анатоль Яблонський, Михайло Осінчук, Микола Федюк).

Під час обох світових воєн Різдвяна церква не постраждала, а за радянських часів це був єдиний храм міста, що діє. Наразі належить Православній церкві України.
