Georgievskaya (Yurievskaya) Church - a wooden church of 1715-47. It was built on the territory of an ancient settlement in the traditional forms of wooden monumental architecture. It was rebuilt in 1852. The temple is known for the fact that the film of the same name based on the work of Gogol "Viy" was once filmed in it, and then it stood in desolation for many years. At present, except for the golden crosses and domes, everything again requires restoration (although it was recently carried out). Wood is a delicate material....Carving requires a lot of attention. A very elegant and unusual building...In general, it's easy to get to.
Interesting - The film "Viy" (a Soviet horror film based on Gogol) was filmed in the Chernihiv region (the scenes of seeing off the seminarians for the holidays at the beginning of the film were filmed on the territory of the Yelets Monastery, as well as near the Catherine's Church) in the Ivano-Frankivsk region in the wooden church of the Most Holy Theotokos in the village of Gorokholin Forest.
The final scenes are in the Sednevskaya St. George Church in the Chernihiv region.
To get in, you need to call the mobile phone indicated on the bulletin board, otherwise, it’s closed and fenced ...you can’t get through
