Saint Nicholas Church
Temple , Architecture
The defense church of Saint Nicholas in Chesnyky (according to other sources - Ascension Church) is a unique stone cult building, built according to the traditions of Ukrainian wooden architecture.
Saint Nicholas Church was built in the 14th century (some researchers assume that in the 12th-13th centuries). It also served as a fortress in which local residents defended themselves from the Tatars.
The church is three-part, with a rectangular nave, framed on two sides by a square nave and a faceted pentagonal apse. Each of the three volumes of the temple is covered by a hemispherical dome hidden under a wooden roof - shingles. In the 19th century, the northern and southern facades were strengthened with powerful buttresses.
The Church of Saint Nicholas in Chesnyky is an architectural monument of national importance. Its analogue is found only in the village of Rosokhy, Lviv region.
Archangel Michael Church
Temple , Architecture
The Church of Archangel Michael in Chesnyky recently celebrated its centenary. It was founded in 1906 on the initiative of the villagers, as the small old church could no longer accommodate parishioners.
The project of the new church was ordered from the famous Lviv architect Vasyl Nahirniy. In 1911, the temple was consecrated, but work continued until 1914.
Michael's Church is located on a high hill in the center of Chesnyky. Stone, cruciform, single-domed, with decorative elements of the classicist style. The ornamental and plot painting was done in 1994 by the artist Ivan Krasevych.
