Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Assumption Church
Ukraine, Truskavets
The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is located in the very center of the city. It was built in 1860. The snow-white Gothic building of the temple has a red roof and two high towers. In Soviet times, a warehouse was located here, and then a planetarium. In 1994 the church was returned to the Roman Catholic Church. The main attraction of the temple is the organ: it sounds both at divine services and at organ music concerts held here three times a week.

Initially, in 1859 it was built as a Roman Catholic chapel of St. Kunegunda - the patron saint of salt mines and mines. Considering that salt mining has long been carried out in neighboring Drohobych, and the name Truskavets according to one version comes from the Lithuanian "druska" - "salt", the construction of such a chapel is very clear. During the rapid growth of the resort in the early twentieth century. the chapel was also expanded - it became the modern Church of the Virgin Mary. In Soviet times, there was a planetarium here, and now the Church has once again become a functioning church, where worship is conducted in Polish and Ukrainian.
