Nativity of Holy Virgin Chapel

Temple , Architecture

The cemetery chapel in honor of the Nativity of the Holy Virgin in Hnativka near Bilohorodka was built in 1905 by a local resident, Hvozdyk.

Throughout the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th, the majority of the population of Hnativka consisted of Jews. Due to the small number of the Christian community in Hnativka, a full-fledged church was never built, and its functions were performed and continue to be performed by the cemetery chapel of the Nativity of the Virgin.

A crypt looted during Soviet times has been preserved under the chapel. Currently, the chapel is restored, services are held.

In 2013, a memorial plaque was solemnly installed on the wall of the church commemorating the historical event that took place in Hnativka on February 9, 1918. On this day, in Hnativka, under the leadership of Acting Minister of War Oleksandr Zhukivskyi, the re-formation of all existing troops into the Separate Zaporizhzhia Detachment took place - this is how the first regular armed formation of the Ukrainian People's Republic was formed.
