Nativity of Holy Virgin Church

Temple

The Church of the Nativity of the Holy Virgin in the village of Horokholyn Lis was built in 2008 on the site of the burnt-out wooden church of the Assumption of the Virgin, founded in 1943.

The old Assumption Church, which was transformed by the communists into a museum of atheism, became famous due to the fact that it served as the scenery for the location filming of the movie "Viy" based on the mystical novel by Mykola Hohol (it can be seen in the scene of the funeral procession). In 2006, the church burned down. According to the official version, the fire was caused by a violation of the rules for the installation and operation of the electrical network, however, local residents believe that the old church was defiled by the filming of a film about evil spirits (a similar fate befell another church, where "Viy" was also filmed - in Sedniv, Chernihiv Region).

Perhaps that is why they decided not to restore the wooden church that burned down in its original form, but instead built a new church of the Nativity of the Holy Virgin made of red brick.
