Assumption of Holy Virgin Church
Temple , Architecture
The wooden Church of the Assumption of the Holy Virgin Mary in Voloskivtsi was built in 1765 next to the ancient castle.
Forms are characteristic of Ukrainian Baroque architecture. The temple is cruciform in plan, at the intersection of four high lateral log cabins, an octagonal top is placed. The sides of the sleeves have a pronounced slope towards the center of the structure. In this way, the masters strengthened the perspective and created the illusion of a higher building.
From the western side, the temple is combined with a three-tiered wooden bell tower, added in the middle of the 19th century.
The Church of the Assumption in Voloskivtsi is an architectural monument of national importance.
