The village of Myzynivka is located 15 kilometers northwest of Zvenyhorodka.
Founded in the 19th century. According to legend, the founder of the village was one of the five brothers who lived here, but they moved around the world, and only one remained - the youngest (little finger).
The wooden Saint George's Church, built in 1908-1909 on the site of an older one, has survived.

Saint George's Church
Temple , Architecture
The Church of Saint George (Yuriy) in Myzynivka was built in 1906-1908 on the site of another church known from the 19th century. When it became too small for the growing parish, the parishioners appealed to the church authorities for permission to build a much larger church.
The new church was consecrated as Saint George's. It had good proportions and a variety of decorative carvings, was quite compact and fit well into the landscape.
During Soviet times, the church was closed, crosses and bells were removed from it. The premises of the temple were turned into a warehouse. During the battle of Korsun-Shevchenkivskyi, the Germans used the bell tower of the church as an observation post. Soviet planes dropped five bombs on the church, but none hit. In the post-war period, grain was again kept in the Mizynov temple. It gradually collapsed.
In 1984, the "Ukrprojekrestavratsiya" institute conducted an examination of the church as an architectural monument, but restoration work began only 20 years later. Currently, Saint George's Church is in good condition. The grave of priest Lysyansky, dated 1897, has been preserved on the church perimeter.
