Intercession of Holy Virgin Church

Temple , Architecture

The Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin, which stands on a hill in the center of the village of Dihtiarivka, was built in 1708-1710 at the expense of Hetman Ivan Mazepa. It was in the Church of the Intercession that the great Ukrainian Hetman prayed on the eve of the decision to side with King Charles XII against the Tsar of Moscow in the Northern War.

The five-domed stone temple was built in the Ukrainian Baroque style. The influence of the late Renaissance and early classicism can be felt in the exterior decoration.

During the Soviet era, the Intercession Church was looted and partially destroyed.

In 2009, restoration work was started, during which one of the aisles of the church was restored. However, due to a lack of funds, the work was suspended. In 2023, the Orthodox Church of Ukraine announced its intention to use Ivan Mazepa's charity fund, created in 2022, to rebuild the church.
