General information about Saint George Church (Oleksandro-Shultyne)

Saint George's Church was built in the village of Oleksandro-Shultyne in 1822-1829 by the owner of the village, Lieutenant General Petro Kotlyarevskyi. Stepan Kotlyarevskyi, the father of the general, served as a priest in the church until the end of his life.

During the Second World War, the church was not damaged, but in 1963 the Soviet authorities closed it, the bell tower was destroyed, and the premises were used as an agricultural warehouse. For some time the temple was empty.

In 1991, the temple was handed over to the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate.

Свято-Георгіївська церква збудована в селі Олександро-Шультине в 1822-1829 роках власником села генерал-лейтенантом Петром Котляревським. Священиком у храмі до кінця життя служив отець генерала Степан Котляревський.

У роки Другої світової війни церква не постраждала, але в 1963 році радянська влада її закрила, дзвіницю зруйнували, а приміщення використовували як сільськогосподарський склад. Деякий час храм був порожнім.

В 1991 році храм передали УПЦ московського патріархату.
