Holy Assumption Church
The Church of the Assumption in Barvinkove was founded in 1876 and consecrated in 1884.
The temple was built in the late Byzantine style in honor of the exploits of the Barvinkove regiment, which became famous during the liberation of Bulgaria from Ottoman rule. The emperor donated a silver guard to the temple, and the imperial court - a large iconostasis of the work of artists of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow.
During the Bolshevik revolution at the beginning of the 20th century, all the decoration of the temple was destroyed. During World War II, the altar was destroyed by a bomb, but most of the church survived. Assumption Church was recreated in its original form during the restoration in 1982.
