Ukraine, Buchach
The Buchach Church of the Assumption of the Mother of God is an architectural monument of national importance and one of the most visited tourist sites in Western Ukraine. The stone church was built in the years 1761-1763 in the Baroque style on the site of a dilapidated church of the XIV century. Bullets found during excavations at the Buchach Castle with the inscription: “From Tatar attacks” were embedded in the wall of the Assumption Church. In 1880, the Poles erected an oak cross near the church in memory of the 50th anniversary of the Polish uprising.
The dominant feature of the interior design of the temple is the marble altar "Saint Judas Thadeus" with masterfully carved sculptures of saints, the work of the outstanding master John Georg Pinzel. As fate would have it, Pinzel later married and had his children baptized in front of this altar. In 1945, the Soviet government turned the church into a hardware store, then a warehouse. The interior was significantly damaged, and a boiler room was installed in the family crypts under the church. In 1991, the Church of the Assumption of the Mother of God was returned to the community of Buchach Roman Catholics.
