General information about Nativity of Holy Virgin Church (Stryi)

The elegant Gothic church-sanctuary of the Nativity of the Holy Virgin is considered a symbol of the city of Stryi.

The Roman Catholic parish was founded in the city by King Kazymyr the Great in the 14th century. The parish church of the Nativity of the Virgin was built in 1425. Several times the Gothic temple was destroyed by fire. In 1891, the last major restoration was carried out, an organ was installed.

In 1939, the temple was closed, but the building was preserved during Soviet times.

In 1995, the church was declared the Sanctuary of the Mother of God, the Patroness of Human Hopes, and in 2001, Pope John Paul II consecrated the icon of the Mother of God of Stryi.

Витончений готичний костел-санктуарій Різдва Пресвятої Богородиці вважається символом міста Стрий.

Римо-католицька парафія була заснована в місті королем Казимиром Великим ще в XIV сторіччі. Парафіяльний костел Різдва Богородиці був збудований у 1425 році. Кілька разів готичний храм знищували пожежі. В 1891 році була проведена остання велика реставрація, було встановлено орган.

У 1939 році храм було закрито, але будівля збереглася за радянських часів.

У 1995 році костел був оголошений Санктуарієм Матері Божої Покровительки Людських Надій, а в 2001 році Папа Римський Іван Павло ІІ освятив ікону Матері Божої Стрийської.
