Assumption of Blessed Virgin Mary Church
The Greek-Catholic Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Tiachiv was built in 1852-1889 on the site of a wooden church.
The modern iconostasis was made in Budapest workshops. Two huge bells are installed on the tower, one of which was originally cast for the cathedral in Sighet (Romania).
In 1948, after the ban of the Greek-Catholic Church, the shrine was handed over to the Orthodox community, and only in 2009 was the Assumption Church finally returned to the Greek-Catholics.
