Holy Introduction Church
The ancient Cossack Holy Introduction Church in Beryslav is the only wooden church in the Kherson region, an architectural monument of the 18th century.
It was built of oak in 1725 in the Zaporizhzhian Perevalochna fortress (now the village of Svitlohirske near the confluence of the Vorskla River with the Dnipro), and was originally called Holy Resurrection Church. In 1784, the temple was transported by rafts down the Dnipro River to Beryslav.
During the Soviet rule, the Holy Introduction Church was closed for a short period from 1939 to 1941. The Gospel of 1695 is kept here.
