History

Dating back to the 16th century, this church is considered one of the oldest wooden religious buildings in Podolia. The temple, which features a three-part structure with a gable roof, was consecrated in 1583 in honor of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Throughout the years, the church suffered significant damage from Turkish and Tatar invasions, but local parishioners always rebuilt it. Following Ukraine's independence, the church underwent a full restoration.
On 28 August 2003, the community celebrated the church's 420th anniversary. The current rector of the church is Myron Karach.
