General information about Chechelnyk

The village of Chechelnyk on the Savranka River is located 70 kilometers southeast of Tulchyn, 100 kilometers northwest of Uman.

For the first time, Chechelnyk was mentioned in 1635 as a town owned by the Ukrainian Cossack family Chechelyv, although a guard post existed at this place a century earlier. In 1795, Chechelnyk was renamed Olhopil, it became the center of Olhopil County, but soon the city was returned to its former name, and the neighboring Rohizka-Chechelnytska became the center of Olhopil County. In 1797, Chechelnyk, among other settlements of the Podilsk province, was handed over by Emperor Paul I to General Field Marshal Ivan Hudovich, a hero of the Caucasian campaigns (here he spent the last years of his life).

The Church of St. Joseph the Betrothed was founded in 1751 by Prince Lubomyrsky. The building of the synagogue (XVII century) has also been preserved. A beautiful Orthodox St. Michael's Cathedral with a high bell tower was recently built.

Селище Чечельник на річці Савранка розташоване в 70 кілометрах на південний схід від Тульчина, в 100 кілометрах на північний захід від Умані.

Вперше Чечельник згадується в 1635 році як містечко у власності українського козацького роду Чечелів, хоча сторожовий пост на цьому місці існував ще століттям раніше. В 1795 році Чечельник було перейменовано на Ольгопіль, він став центром Ольгопільського повіту, але незабаром місту повернули колишню назву, а центром Ольгопільського повіту стала сусідня Рогізка-Чечельницька. В 1797 році Чечельник в числі інших населених пунктів Подільської губернії був переданий імператором Павлом I генералу-фельдмаршалу Івану Гудовичу, герою кавказьких походів (тут він провів останні роки свого життя).

Saint Joseph the Betrothed Church

Temple , Architecture

The Church of Saint Joseph the Betrothed in Chechelnyk was founded in 1751 by Stanisłav Lubomyrskyi, the voivode of Krakow and Kyiv.

In 1786, a stone one was built on the site of the burnt wooden temple, which has survived to this day.

The church contains a miraculous copy of the icon of the Czestochowa Mother of God by an unknown artist.

During the Soviet rule, the church was closed, the bell tower was destroyed (now there are other buildings in its place). The miraculous image was hidden by believers, but it was damaged due to improper storage. In 1991, the Franciscan Fathers Maksymilyan Zhydovskyi and Yan Duklyan Pavlyuk took the canvas to Poland, where it was restored and consecrated by Pope John Paul II, after which the icon returned to Chechelnyk.

Currently, Saint Joseph's Church is being restored by the efforts of Franciscan monks and Albertine sisters. The priest's house has also been preserved, but is in a state of disrepair.

In 2015, the church was declared a diocesan sanctuary of the Mother of God of Chechelnytska.
