History
editThe wooden church in the village was built in 1924 to replace the old wooden church built in 1820, which burned down during World War I. Until about 1918 it was a daughter church of the parish of Berezhnytsia, then in about 1924 it was separated, but a priest from Berezhnytsia served there.[4]
In August 1916, the Austrian army confiscated four ancient bells with diameters of 69, 43, 35, and 32 cm, made in 1876, 1727, 1687, and 1687.[2]
On the facade of the church there is a bas-relief with a memorial plaque in honor of Father Andrii Bandera (father of Stepan Bandera). In one of the windows of the church there is a stained-glass window with the said priest.[2]
Number of parishioners: 1832 – 291, 1844 – 400, 1854 – 406, 1864 – 479, 1874 – 500, 1884 – 514, 1894 – 619, 1904 – 677, 1914 – 882, 1924 – about 840, 1936 – about 1,406.[4]
