Church of the Annunciation

Klevan, Mytskevycha Street

About this place

The Annunciation Church arose in Klemani in 1590. It was built at his own expense by the grandson of Mykhailo Vasylovych Chartoryiskyi. A wooden church, executed in the Baroque style. The fire of 1739 almost completely destroyed the church, leaving only the walls. It took 8 years to restore the church.

The modern shrine has preserved almost none of its original decoration. Its main jewel — the altarpiece created by a master of the Bolognese school of the XVII — has not survived to this day because of negligent treatment in Soviet times. However, in the church's underground chambers, the remains of the bodies of the Chartoryiskyi family and his descendants have been preserved.

For now, tourists do not have full access to the Annunciation Cathedral because of ongoing archaeological research, but the church is open and receives its worshippers.
