Holy Intercession Church
Temple , Architecture
The Church of the Intercession of the Holy Mother of God in Romashky is one of the largest and grandest provincial Orthodox churches in Ukraine.
This huge three-seated church was built in 1843 at the expense of landlady Trofimova. Two altars are dedicated to Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker and Saint Anthoniy of Pechersk.
Late classicism, emphasized by the size of the building and bell towers, which are rare for Orthodox churches in the Dnipro region, puts the Romashky Church in the same line as the most outstanding architectural monuments of Ukraine. This was recognized even by the Soviet authorities, who not only preserved the church, but also restored it after the destruction during the Second World War.
The Church of the Intercession in Romashky is an architectural monument of national importance.
