Temple , Architecture
The large stone Cathedral of the Assumption is located on the terrace above the village of Mezhyrich, at the foot of the plateau of the high right bank of the Psel River.
Founded in 1759 by the order and at the expense of local native Luka Bilous, archimandrite of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, as the cathedral church of the hundred-year-old town of Mezhyrich. Assumption Cathedral in Okhtyrka (1728-1738, not preserved) served as a model.
Built in a rare temple style typical of Slobozhanshchyna, the cathedral is a valuable monument of Ukrainian national architecture of the Baroque era.
