Assumption of Blessed Virgin Mary Church

Temple , Architecture

The Roman Catholic Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was founded in Zhydachiv in 1301.

At first it was wooden. In 1415, the brother of King Svydryhaylo, who owned these lands, decorated the temple. In 1602, the construction of the Assumption stone church was started at the expense of Mykola Lihenza and Yezhy Zholchynsky.

In 1676, the Polish king Yan III Sobeski celebrated the victory over the Turks near Zhydachiv in this church.

In 1895, there was a fire in the church, and only in 1938 was the reconstruction completed.

During Soviet times, the Church of the Assumption was closed, first a bus station was placed in it, and then a museum of local history.

Currently, the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is active.

According to legend, there used to be a family estate on three hills outside the city, to which an underground passage leads from the church. Until now, the old "man's" stables have been preserved, which now contain classrooms and garages of the local professional lyceum.
