General information about Saint Nicholas Church (Buchach)

The defensive church in honor of Saint Nicholas was built 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.

Оборонна церква на честь Святого Миколая збудована коштом дружини графа Стефана Потоцького Марії Могилянки - двоюрідної сестри Київського митрополита Петра Могили.

Фортифікаційний характер розташованого на височини суворої споруди вгадується по бійницях на другому ярусі. Усередині знаходяться багато прикрашений іконостас.

Миколаївська церква - найдавніший збережений мурований храм Бучача. Нині діючий храм Православної церкви України.
