Holy Intercession Church
The Holy Intercession Church was built in the village of Zhuklia at the expense of Major General Mykola Komstadius.
It is considered a very valuable architectural monument, since there are no more churches of this type in Ukraine.
The church was founded in 1911 on the site of a burned down wooden church. According to legend, the owner of the village promised the residents to build a temple that does not burn. For this, he ordered an architect and builders from St. Petersburg.
The Pokrovsky Church is made in neo-Rus style. It combines elements of the architecture of the northern regions of Ancient Rus with Ukrainian compositional techniques. The interior of the temple is decorated with original paintings. The iconostasis has not survived to this day.
