Nativity of Holy Virgin Church

Temple , Architecture , UNESCO world heritage site

The wooden Church of the Nativity of the Holy Virgin Mary in Nyzhnii Verbizh was built in 1808 at the expense of local resident Hryhor Semenyuk.

According to legend, in his youth, Semenyuk was a soldier in the rebel unit of Oleksa Dovbush, but escaped from accomplices with a treasury, and began building a temple to atone for sins. The construction lasted for 20 years.

The five-bay Church of the Nativity of the Virgin is considered a masterpiece of wooden Hutsul architecture, but the problem is returning it to its authentic appearance, as the church is now covered with galvanized tin. Restoration is planned.

The temple is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in the category "Wooden Churches of the Carpathian Region of Ukraine".
