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

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.

Оборонна церква Різдва Пресвятої Богородиці – найдавніша споруда міста Рогатин.

Заснована він ще за часів Галицько-Волинського князівства – не пізніше XIV-XV сторічь, а можливо й раніше. За татарських набігів храм служив невеликою фортецею, про що свідчать оборонні стіни.

Тричі церква горіла і відбудовувалась заново з деякими змінами, внаслідок чого в архітектурному вигляді переплелися елементи готики та бароко.

За радянських часів церква Різдва залишалася чинною. Вона постраждала під час Другої світової війни, проте в 1955 році відбулося освячення відреставрованого храму. Трохи пізніше було відновлено іконостас.
