General information about Saint Nicholas Church (Staryi Sambir)

The Church of Saint Nicholas in Staryi Sambir has a long history.

The Catholic parish was founded in the city back in the 15th century, and a wooden church was built at the same time. In the 16th century, a stone Gothic church was built at the expense of Queen Bona Sfortsa. In 1753, it was reconstructed at the expense of the Polish king Avhust III, but a century later it fell into disrepair and was dismantled.

The current neo-Gothic church building was built in 1903 (architect Yablonsky). The interiors were painted by Lviv artist Leonard Vinterovsky.

In the 1940s, the temple was closed, the premises were used as a warehouse. In 1991, the Saint Nicholas church was returned to the Catholic community of Staryi Sambir.

Костел Святого Миколая у Старому Самборі має давню історію.

Католицька парафія заснована в місті ще в XV сторіччі, тоді ж було збудовано дерев'яний храм. У XVI столітті коштом королеви Бони Сфорца побудований кам'яний готичний костел. У 1753 році він був реконструйований коштом польського короля Августа III, але через сторіччя він занепав і був розібраний.

Нинішня будівля костелу в стилі неоготики збудована в 1903 році (архітектор Яблонський). Інтер'єри розписав львівський художник Леонард Вінтеровський.

У 1940-х роках храм був закритий, приміщення використовувалося як склад. У 1991 році Миколаївський костел було повернуто католицькій громаді Старого Самбору.
