Saint Demetrius Church

Temple , Architecture

The wooden church of Saint Demetrius of Thessaloniki was built in 1822 at the expense of Major General Krystian Hrave, a hero of the Franco-Russian War of 1812.

During the war, Hrave managed the Kyiv Arsenal, where the cannons used in the Battle of Borodino were cast. The Saint Demetrius Church was built as Hrave's ancestral tomb. A family crypt with a monument has been preserved next to it.

During Soviet times, the temple was intended to house a museum of the War of 1812, but in the early 1990s it was moved to the school building, and the temple was returned to the faithful.

The baptismal church itself in plan, with the bell tower adjacent to it. Small crosses are located around the entire perimeter of the temple. Above the entrance is an image of Saint Demetrius of Thessalonica with the inscription: "Martyr Saint Demetrius".
