Holy Ascension Church

Temple , Architecture

Unique in its historical and artistic value, the Holy Ascension Church in Luzhany is considered the oldest shrine among those preserved in the territory of Chernivtsi region.

It was built in the 15th century by the local boyar Fedir Vitold, as reported by an ancient inscription. In terms of construction, this small temple is similar to examples of ancient Rus stone architecture.

The frescoes painted simultaneously with the construction of the temple and those painted later are a precious monument of Bukovyna painting. Among them, frescoes dating back to the 13th-14th centuries were discovered, which gives grounds for experts to attribute the construction of the temple to an earlier period than is officially considered.
