Intercession church-castle

Temple , Architecture

The Intercession church-castle stands surrounded by ponds on the southern outskirts of the village of Sharivka.

Its bell tower was built in the 14th century as a defensive tower on the "Kuchmansky Way". At first, it was five-tiered, square in plan. The thickness of the stone walls is 1.7 meters. In the 1430s, the nobleman Yan Domarat added a church building to the eastern facade. The volume of the church is a uniform cross.

In 1567, the church was damaged during the invasion of the Tatars, but was soon repaired by the manor headman Yakub Pretvych. For some time the temple was a Catholic church.

As a result of many alterations, the building lost its original Gothic forms. Paintings by the artist Prahtl have been preserved in the interior.

The Intercession Church-castle is a unique monument of defense architecture of Ukraine, representing a type of border triconch church.
