General information about Holy Intercession Church (Sulymivka)

The Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin is the oldest architectural monument of the Cossack era in Boryspil region.

The Church of the Intercession was built at the expense of Hetman Ivan Sulyma, and was a family tomb - 8 members of the family are buried here.

The church is distinguished by the strictness of its forms, characteristic of the defensive temple architecture of the 17th century. At one time, it could perform fortification functions. The church never had an interior painting. The walls are decorated with icons. In 1900, a three-tier bell tower was added.

During the Soviet era, the temple was looted. Currently, the restoration has been carried out, the iconostasis has been recreated.

Церква Покрови Пресвятої Богородиці - найстаріша на Бориспільщині архітектурна пам'ятка козацької доби.

Покровська церква побудована коштом гетьмана Івана Сулими, була родинною усипальницею - тут поховано 8 представників роду.

Церква відрізняється суворістю форм, властивою оборонній храмовій архітектурі XVII сторіччя. Свого часу могла виконувати фортифікаційні функції. Внутрішнього розпису церква ніколи не мала. Стіни прикрашені іконами. В 1900 році була прибудована триярусна дзвіниця.

За радянських часів храм розграбували. Наразі проведено реставрацію, відтворено іконостас.
