The Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in an area where other churches had been previously located. It is known that in the late 15th – early 16th century there was a wooden church in that place. In 1699 there was a new temple built. A fellow who visited it in 1745 wrote that is “old, roof-shingled, three-domed and its roof needs to be renovated, but, generally, a great church.” There is no information about the circumstances of the church destruction.
In 1850 there was another church built, a five-domed one, and it is working nowadays. However, the locals consider 1890 to be the year of its construction, as it is indicated on a memorial plaque, installed in 1990 to honor one hundredth anniversary. Perhaps, the process of constructing began in 1850 and ended in 1890.
The architectural ensemble consists of five domes and seven cross-like tops which was then a rare phenomenon and proved the masters’ professionalism and good community’s “treasury.” While decorating the church they integrated the elements of sacral, Hutsul and folk art.
Primarily the church and the three-tier bell-tower standing nearby were covered with shingles. Later, in the mid-20th century, they were covered with tinplate and at the beginning of the 21st century the church’s windows were replaced with plastic ones.
It is an architectural monument of national importance.
