Nativity of Holy Virgin Church

Temple , Architecture

The crippled and half-dead, unpresentable in appearance, but at the same time beautiful wooden church of the Nativity of the Holy Virgin is located in the center of Verbivka near Kamyanka.

Built in 1768, the church is famous for the fact that in 1860 Lev Davydov, the son of the Decembrist Vasyl Davydov, was married in it to Oleksandra Chaykovska, the sister of the composer Petro Chaykovskyi.

The church was rebuilt twice: in 1794 and 1857. The last time - at the expense of Colonel Olena Staal, who donated funds for the construction of the temple due to a personal tragedy - the death of her 17-year-old daughter. This circumstance led to an architectural feature - the presence of a second side altar, under which the girl was buried.

Since 1935, the church was closed by the Soviet authorities, in 1946 the bell tower was removed. Only in 1973, the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin in Verbivka was registered as an architectural monument.

Currently, the church is in a deplorable state and needs urgent restoration.
