General information about Intercession of Holy Virgin Church (Burty)

The stone Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin with a bell tower was built in 1829 by Major General Oleksiy Orlov, who then owned the village of Burty.

Thanks to the native of the village, the outstanding musician and actor Vasyl Vasylko-Milyayev, the church had a good church choir.

The rich church library was looted, the bell tower was destroyed, and the church itself was closed during the infamous anti-religious campaign of the Bolsheviks.

Already after Ukraine gained independence, the Intercession Church was restored and overhauled.

Кам'яна церква Покрови Пресвятої Богородиці зі дзвіницею була побудована в 1829 році генерал-майором Олексієм Орловим, якому тоді належало село Бурти.

Завдяки уродженцю села, видатному музикантові та актору Василеві Васильку-Міляєву у церкві був гарний церковний хор.

Багату церковну бібліотеку пограбували, дзвіницю зруйнували, а саму церкву закрили під час сумнозвісної антирелігійної кампанії більшовиків.

Вже після здобуття Україною незалежності Покровську церкву було відновлено й зроблено капітальний ремонт.
