General information about Ascension Church (Vynohradiv)

The Ascension Church is the oldest temple of Vynohradiv. It was probably founded in the XIII century, but was first mentioned at the turn of the XV-XVI centuries.

Stone, one-nave, reinforced with buttresses. Initially, the church could perform defensive functions, and the three-tier bell tower served as a watchtower.

Вознесенський костел – найдавніший храм Виноградова. Заснований, ймовірно, у XIII сторіічі, але вперше згадується на рубежі XV-XVI століть.

Кам'яний, однонефний, укріплений контрфорсами. Спочатку костел міг виконувати оборонні функції, а триярусна дзвіниця служила сторожовою вежею.

Згодом храм неодноразово перебудовувався, нинішні форми набув у XVIII столітті.

Під час недавніх реставраційних робіт було відкрито романські та готичні портали на південному та північному фасадах, готичне кам'яне різьблення в апсиді. Збереглися фрагменти орнаментального фрескового живопису, різьблення та ліпний герб над головним входом.

Наразі Вознесенський костел – діючий католицький храм Виноградова.
