Nativity of Holy Virgin Church
The defensive complex of the Church of the Nativity of the Holy Virgin Mary was built in the 19th century on the basis of the fortifications of Shchyrets Castle on Golden (Church) Hill.
From the 16th century, a stone and wooden belfry tower over the gate, a stone fence with loopholes and a corner defense tower have been preserved. This is one of the few preserved structures typical of Ukrainian stone architecture of the 15th and 16th centuries.
During the military operations of 1915, the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin was badly damaged - the dome was completely destroyed. It was restored in 1934 according to the project of the architect Lev Levinsky.

Комплекс оборонної церкви Різдва Пресвятої Богородиці збудований у XIX столітті на основі фортифікаційних споруд Щирецького замку на Золотій (Церковній) горі.
З XVI сторіччя збереглася надбрамна кам'яно-дерев'яна башта-дзвіниця, кам'яна огорожа з бійницями та кутова оборонна башта. Це одні з небагатьох збережених споруд, характерних для української кам'яної архітектури 15-16 століть.
Під час військових дій 1915 року церква Різдва Богородиці сильно постраждала - був повністю знищений купол. Була відреставрована в 1934 році за проєктом архітектора Лева Левинського.
В інтер'єрі храму зберігся монументальний живопис. Усі споруди на Замковій горі утворюють єдиний архітектурний ансамбль оборонного типу.
