General information about Saint Nicholas Church (Buchach)

The defensive church in honor of Saint Nicholas was built in Buchach at the expense of Mariya Mohylyanka, the wife of Count Stefan Pototsky, a cousin of Metropolitan of Kyiv Petro Mohyla.

The fortification nature of the harsh building located on the hill can be guessed from the loopholes on the second tier. Inside there is a richly decorated iconostasis.

The Saint Nicholas Church is the oldest preserved brick church in Buchach. It is currently an active church of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.
