General information about Intercession Church (Nizhyn)

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.

Покровська церква споруджена в Ніжині в 1757-1765 роках і з того часу не перебудовувалася.

Кам'яний храм виконаний у строгому стилі бароко майже без декору. В інтер'єрі можна побачити розписи кінця XVIII сторіччя.

В ХІХ столітті до західного фасаду Покровської церкви була прибудована витончена двоярусна дзвіниця в стилі ампір. Вона прикрашена майстерно виконаними чотириколонними портиками та трикутними фронтонами з чітким ритмом зубчиків.

Нині Покровська церква належить до Православної церкви України.
