The wooden Church of the Assumption is the oldest building in Rivne. The temple in the Tyutkivskyi suburb of the city was built in 1756 at the expense of the parishioners. The church is single-domed, the iconostasis was completed in 1784.

According to legend, Ivan Honta, the leader of the Haidamac movement, prayed in the Assumption Church before the battle with the Polish nobility.

The belfry and the "chain of moral foundations" to which ungodly parishioners were chained in the 18th century for public atonement have been preserved.

Дерев'яна Свято-Успенська церква - найстаріша будівля в Рівному. Храм у Тютківському передмісті міста збудовано в 1756 році коштом парафіян. Храм однокупольний, іконостас виконано в 1784 році.

За легендою, в Успенській церкві молився лідер гайдамацького руху Іван Гонта перед битвою з польською шляхтою.

Збереглася дзвіниця та "ланцюг моральних засад", до якої у XVIII столітті приковували безбожних парафіян для публічного спокутування гріхів.
