Intercession church-castle
The Intercession church-castle stands surrounded by ponds on the southern outskirts of the village of Sharivka.
Its bell tower was built in the 14th century as a defensive tower on the "Kuchmansky Way". At first, it was five-tiered, square in plan. The thickness of the stone walls is 1.7 meters. In the 1430s, the nobleman Yan Domarat added a church building to the eastern facade. The volume of the church is a uniform cross.
In 1567, the church was damaged during the invasion of the Tatars, but was soon repaired by the manor headman Yakub Pretvych. For some time the temple was a Catholic church.
As a result of many alterations, the building lost its original Gothic forms. Paintings by the artist Prahtl have been preserved in the interior.
