Nativity of Holy Virgin Church
Architecture , Temple
The Church of the Nativity of the Holy Virgin Mary was founded in Uhniv in 1780 (according to other sources, in 1797) on the site of an old wooden church known since 1500.
The temple remained unfinished for a long time. In 1855-1857, the merchant Stepan Zhukovsky reconstructed the church at his own expense. Building materials were the remains of dismantled city fortifications.
The Uhniv Church of the Nativity of the Holy Virgin was considered one of the most beautiful in Galicia. In 1936, the interior was painted by artist Demyan Hornyatkevych. Along with the saints, historical figures were depicted: King Danylo Romanovych, Hetman Ivan Mazepa, Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi, poet Taras Shevchenko and others, but during Soviet times these frescoes were whitewashed.
The Church of the Nativity of the Most Holy Virgin belongs to the parish of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.
