General information about Saint Nicholas Church (Olevsk)
The Saint Nicholas Church in Olevsk is an architectural monument of the 16th century.
It was built in 1596 under the Nemyrych nobles, and in 1618 it was reconstructed, as evidenced by the date on the stone cross built into the western wall of the vestibule attached to the church.
The base of the building has a simple squat shape with five helmet-shaped domes, which appeared after the reconstruction in 1864. Narrow slit windows indicate the defensive character of the building. The bell tower has a similar shape.
The iconostasis is modern, the old icons have not survived. Of particular value was the icon "Our Lady of Olevsk", which was removed from the church during the Soviet regime and kept in the Kharkiv Museum.
Свято-Миколаївська церква в Олевську – пам'ятка архітектури ХVІ сторіччя.
Побудована в 1596 році при шляхтичах Немиричах, а в 1618 році була проведена реконструкція, про що свідчить дата на кам'яному хресті, вмурованому в західний мур прибудованого до церкви притвора.
Основа споруди має нескладну приземкувату форму з п'ятьма шоломоподібними куполами, які з'явилися після реконструкції 1864 року. Вузькі щілинні вікна говорять про оборонний характер будівлі. Подібну форму має і дзвіниця.
Іконостас сучасний, старі ікони не збереглися. Особливу цінність мала ікона "Богородиця Олевська", яка за радянської влади була вилучена з храму та зберігалася в Харківському музеї.
