Tserkva Uspinnya Bohorodytsi

During a recent trip to Chornukhinsk, we found the abandoned church. The village of Melekhi. Uspenskaya church in 1907 of construction. Wooden, baptismal, on a brick foundation. It stands on the site of the previous temple in 1795. In the 1930s, the Communists overthrew the church and rebuilt the temple in the club. At the altar, they staged a stage where they performed and danced. The services were renewed during the German occupation. The church was finally closed in 1964. Now the club is no longer working, the building is collapsing. Although, the Assumption Church was still more "lucky" than the other 15 historical temples of the district, which were completely destroyed. The Assumption Church practically preserved the original planning, foundations, the altar part, the remains (yet) ceiling and floor. Alongside the remains of the brick fence, road from the pavement. Unfortunately, the priest of the UOC decided to arrange a temple in a former kindergarten and left the old church with no attention. Historical temples in Chernukhinsk remained only in two villages - Voronki (1857) and Melekhi (1907). The Assumption Church in Melekhah has to be rescued ....
