Temple , Architecture
The Holy Ascension Church in Matusiv is a majestic charm in the style of classicism. The construction of the temple began in 1812 immediately after Napoleon's invasion of Russia, and the construction was completed in 1818.
The Ascension Church was built at the expense of a well-known patron, local landowner, Major General of the Russian Army Oleksiy Orlov, a hero of the Franco-Russian War. It is assumed that the author of the project could be the famous Kyiv architect Andriy Melenskyi, who was a friend of the Orlov family. In the lower part of the drum of the central dome there is an inscription that the temple was built in honor of the heroes of the Patriotic War of 1812. The painting of the 1900s has been preserved.
Near the church is a grave monument to an unknown lieutenant of the Russian army, who died in 1915 during battles with German troops in the First World War.
