General information about Intercession Church (Kozhanka)

The Intercession Church in Kozhanka is located on a hill in the center of the village.

The church is wooden on a stone foundation, three-log three-domed, later expanded due to the addition of low buildings and a vestibule. A small extension adjoins the apse from the south. Log houses are covered with octagonal domes without drums, which makes the silhouette of the building somewhat stocky.

According to legend, the funds for the construction of this church were raised by the Haydamaks.

The unusual composition of the building places it among a number of interesting monuments of wooden architecture of the Right Bank of Ukraine.

Покровська церква у Кожанці розташована на піднесенні в центрі села.

Церква дерев'яна на кам'яному фундаменті, тризрубна трикупольна, пізніше розширена за рахунок прибудови невисоких прибудов та тамбуру. До апсиди з півдня примикає невелика прибудова. Зруби перекриті восьмигранними банями без барабанів, що робить силует будівлі дещо присадкуватим.

За легендою, кошти на будівництво цієї церкви зібрали гайдамаки.

Незвичайність композиції будівлі ставить її до низки цікавих пам'яток дерев'яної архітектури Правобережної України.
