Nativity of Most Holy Virgin Church
The Defense Church of the Nativity of the Most Holy Virgin is the oldest building in the city of Rohatyn.
It was founded during the times of the Galicia-Volyn principality - no later than the 14th-15th centuries, and possibly even earlier. During the Tatar raids, the temple served as a small fortress, as evidenced by the defensive walls.
The church burned down three times and was rebuilt with some changes, as a result of which Gothic and Baroque elements were intertwined in the architectural form.
During Soviet times, the Church of the Nativity remained active. It was damaged during the Second World War, but in 1955 the restored temple was consecrated. A little later, the iconostasis was restored.
