Saint Nicholas Church (Ukrainian: Церква Святого Миколая) is a Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church from the 16th century (rebuilt in the 18th and 19th centuries) in Terebovlia, in the Ternopil Oblast. An architectural monument of national importance.[1]
History
The temple was built in the 16th century.[2] It was rebuilt in 1734 and served as a defensive structure.[2] Another reconstruction, not including the presbytery, was carried out in 1896.[3] Around the beginning of the 21st century, the church underwent renovation.[2] It belongs to the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.[2]
Architecture
The St. Nicholas Church is located near the town hall and the Carmelite church.[3] Originally, it was a Gothic[4] single-nave[3] temple with a narthex and a polygonal presbytery, probably with a tower.[3] After reconstruction in the 18th century, the church was surrounded by a wall with an entrance gate and a bell tower was erected.[3] Defensive elements have been preserved in the presbytery.[3]
