General information about Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin (Chortkiv)

The wooden Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Chortkiv is an example of Podillya folk architecture, the oldest surviving church in Chortkiv.

It was founded in 1538 on the initiative of the city brotherhood, whose members were local craftsmen. It was rebuilt in its present form in 1635.

This type of church is called "house" - they were built like ordinary residential houses-huts without architectural decorations. Wooden log cabins are covered with a common shingle roof.

A wonderful carved iconostasis of the 18th century has been preserved.

Assumption Church belongs to the parish of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.

Дерев'яна церква Успіння Пресвятої Богородиці в Чорткові - зразок подільської народної архітектури, найдавніший храм Чорткова, що зберігся.

Заснований у 1538 році з ініціативи міського братства, членами якого були місцеві ремісники. У нинішньому вигляді відбудований у 1635 році.

Зберігся чудовий різьблений іконостас XVIII сторіччя.
