Church of the Nativity of the Virgin on the Southern Bug

Church of the Nativity of the Virgin in Pechera
Ukraine, Nemyriv
The wooden Church of the Nativity of the Virgin (1762) stands on a high hill, above the Southern Bug River, in the village. Pechera.

Next to it is a bell tower made of stone, which a few years ago stood without a top and looked more like a medieval watchtower. A couple of years ago it was completed, whitewashed and used again for its intended purpose.

Another fifty meters further and a fantastic panorama opens up, on the edge of the plateau the steep slopes break straight down to the Southern Bug dotted with boulders. Right under your feet, under a layer of soil, are the remains of the foundations of a castle built in the 17th century. tyrannical Moldavian ruler Duca. Abandoned by Duca after the coup in Moldova, the castle fell into disrepair. In 1764, a stone from it went to the foundations and fence of the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin, and a century later a bell tower was built from the remains.
