The village of Ternivka is located 10 kilometers south of Smila.
It was founded in the 16th century as a farm of the Vovk, Baydak and Shpylov families. Until the beginning of the 19th century, Ternivka belonged to Count Samoylov, who later sold the village to the hero of the Franco-Russian War of 1812, Major General of Artillery Khrystian Hrevs, who was in charge of the Kyiv Arsenal.
The wooden Church of Saint Demetrius of Thessaloniki, built by Khrystian Hrevs in 1822, has been preserved. A museum dedicated to the War of 1812 operates at the local school.
In memory of 187 residents of Ternivka, who died on the fronts of the Second World War, a monument was erected in the center of the village.
Село Тернівка розташоване в 10 кілометрах на південь від Сміли.
Засноване в XVI сторіччі як хутори родин Вовк, Байдаків і Шпильових. До початку XIX століття Тернівка належала графу Самойлову, який пізніше продав село герою франко-російської війни 1812 року генерал-майору артилерії Христіану Гревсу, який керував Київським арсеналом.
Збереглася дерев'яна церква Святого Дмитра Солунського, побудована Христіаном Гревсом в 1822 році. При місцевій школі працює музей, присвячений війні 1812 року.
На згадку про 187 жителів Тернівки, загиблих на фронтах Другої світової війни, в центрі села встановлено пам'ятник.
Saint Demetrius Church
Temple , Architecture
The wooden church of Saint Demetrius of Thessaloniki was built in 1822 at the expense of Major General Krystian Hrave, a hero of the Franco-Russian War of 1812.
During the war, Hrave managed the Kyiv Arsenal, where the cannons used in the Battle of Borodino were cast. The Saint Demetrius Church was built as Hrave's ancestral tomb. A family crypt with a monument has been preserved next to it.
During Soviet times, the temple was intended to house a museum of the War of 1812, but in the early 1990s it was moved to the school building, and the temple was returned to the faithful.
The baptismal church itself in plan, with the bell tower adjacent to it. Small crosses are located around the entire perimeter of the temple. Above the entrance is an image of Saint Demetrius of Thessalonica with the inscription: "Martyr Saint Demetrius".
