General information about Intercession of Holy Virgin Church (Melnykivka)

The wooden church in the village of Melnykivka was built in the first half of the 19th century and consecrated in the name of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin.

Due to restrictions on the use of traditional Ukrainian style in church architecture, the church turned out to be unusual, with pronounced features of classicism.

Probably, the Intercession Church served as a burial place for landowners Morozov or Zolotaryov, who owned Melnykivka in the 19th century. The graves of the Zolotaryovs have been preserved on the church bypass.

Дерев'яну церкву в селі Мельниківка збудували у першій половині ХІХ століття і освятили в ім'я Покрова Пресвятої Богородиці.

У зв'язку з обмеженнями на використання традиційного українського стилю у храмовій архітектурі церква вийшла незвичайною, з яскраво вираженими рисами класицизму.

Ймовірно, Покровська церква служила усипальницею поміщиків Морозових чи Золотарьових, які володіли Мельниківкою у ХІХ столітті. На церковному обійсті збереглися могили Золотарьових.
