General information about Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord (Zaluzhzhia)

The Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord is the oldest church in Zbarazh. It is located on Chernecha Hill, on the southwestern outskirts of the city in the village of Zaluzhzhia, in the district of Stary Zbarazh.

Erected on the site of the ancient monastery of Saint Onufry at the expense of Yan Zbarazky. Walled loopholes in the thick walls testify to the defensive purpose of the structure.

Today it is the parish church of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine in the village of Zaluzhzhia, which has been restored in recent years.

There is a sundial on the wall. A monument in honor of the 400th anniversary of the temple was erected nearby.

Церква Преображення Господнього - найдавніший храм Збаража. Розташована на Чернечій горі, що на південно-західній околиці міста в селі Залужжя, в районі Старого Збаражу.

Зведена на місці древнього монастиря Святого Онуфрія коштом Яна Збаражского. Замуровані бійниці в товстих стінах свідчать про оборонне призначення споруди.

Нині це парафіяльна церква Православної церкви України села Залужжя, в останні роки відреставрована.

На стіні розміщений сонячний годинник. Поруч встановлено пам'ятник на честь 400-річчя храму.
