The Church of the Intercession was built in Nizhyn in 1757-1765 and has not been rebuilt since then.
The stone temple is made in a strict baroque style with almost no decor. In the interior you can see paintings of the end of the 18th century.
In the 19th century, an elegant two-tier bell tower in the Empire style was added to the western facade of the Intercession Church. It is decorated with skillfully executed four-column porticos and triangular pediments with a clear rhythm of dentils.
Today, the Intercession Church belongs to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.
