General information about Holy Apostle John the Theologian Church (Zhukiv)

The wooden church of the Holy Apostle John Theologian is the main attraction of Zhukiv.

The temple on one of the village hills was built in 1873 (according to other sources - in 1803). It was transported to Zhukiv from Naraiv, where it was originally built. The inscriptions "Zhukiv 1928" and "Shumlyany 1928" are embossed on the tin on the domes above the nativity scene and the altar. It is possible that it was in 1928 that the tin covering of the temple was installed and the inscriptions were made.

Next to the church of the Holy Apostle John the Theologian there is an old wooden bell tower, very impressive and small-bellied, which is typical for bell towers of those times and is not characteristic of modern churches.

Дерев'яна церква Святого апостола Івана Богослова – головна пам'ятка Жукова.

Храм на одному з сільських пагорбів зведено в 1873 році (за іншими даними - в 1803 році). До Жукова його перевезли з Нараєва, де його було збудовано спочатку. На куполах над бабинцем та вівтарем на жерсті вибиті написи: "Жуків 1928" та "Шумляни 1928". Можливо, що саме в 1928 році було встановлено жерстяне покриття храму та зроблено написи.

Поруч із церквою Святого апостола Івана Богослова стоїть стара дерев'яна дзвіниця, дуже вражаюча і пузатенька, що типово для дзвіниць тих часів і не характерно для сучасних церков.
