The white-stone Ascension Church in Velykyi Bobryk is one of the most successful religious buildings in the Sumy Region.
A majestic temple in the style of classicism with a three-tier bell tower was built in 1808 on the heights in the center of the village. It perfectly complemented the picturesque rural landscape with a pond and hills. The church comes into view immediately after the turn from the Sumy-Okhtyrka road, and then it does not disappear from view for the entire five kilometers of the road.
At first, the temple seems very small, which is natural for a small village. The real scale of the structure becomes apparent only when you start to descend to the pond. Compared to the surrounding rural structures, the Ascension Church looks simply huge.
