General information about Saint Barbara's Bell Tower Church (Kytaihorod)

Saint Barbara's Bell Tower Church in Kytaihorod organically combines the features of a temple, a bell tower, and a defense tower in one building.

It was built in the 18th century at the same time as two other stone churches on the initiative of the Kytaihorod centurion Pavlo Semenov.

A powerful two-story tower dominates the building. At first it served as a belfry, was part of the system of city fortifications, then it was rebuilt into a church.

The Barbara Church was closed in 1954, and remained derelict for a long time. It was consecrated anew in 1996.

Церква-дзвіниця Святої Варвари в Китайгороді органічно поєднує в одній споруді риси храму, дзвіниці та оборонної вежі.

Збудована в XVIII сторіччі одночасно зі ще двома кам'яними церквами з ініціативи китайгородського сотника Павла Семенова.

Потужна двоярусна вежа домінує над спорудою. Спочатку служила дзвіницею, входила до системи міських укріплень, потім була перебудована на церкву.

Варваринську церкву було закрито в 1954 році, тривалий час залишалася в запустінні. Наново освячена в 1996 році.
