Church of the Introduction to the Temple of the Most Holy Mother of God

The introduced church is part of the Trinity-Ilyinsky monastery. The refectory was built in 1677-1679, even before the construction of the Trinity Cathedral - the main building of the ensemble. The church is a true masterpiece of Ukrainian architectural style, which influenced other, later monuments.

From the west to the main premises of the temple adjoins the dining room with kitchen and warehouses - everything is located in one line. The interior space of the double-headed church is made using the techniques of wooden architecture. One chapter is reserved for the altar, the other for worshippers. The refectory hall with a cylindrical vault is a unique example of the interior of buildings of the 17th century. The harmony of the main facade is created by its energetic vertical rhythm, deep window openings and characteristic triangular gables above them.

The original iconostasis was lost in the Soviet period, modern - created in the late 80s of the last century. Today, the church plays the role of "student" - refers to the spiritual school of regents, classes and tests are held here. At the same time, the temple is also refectory.
