Podillya. Wooden Pokrovskaya Church, 1941-1943
The wooden Pokrovskaya Church in Podolia was built in 1874 using funds from the landowner Tomachinsky. The church has five domes, and a bell tower is located above the narthex. In the 1930s, the church was closed. The crosses were removed, and the bells were removed from the bell tower. Before the Great Patriotic War, the church stood empty; the authorities intended to dismantle the church, but the then chairman of the village council did not allow this to happen. During the war in 1941, a field hospital was located in the church, and during the retreat of Soviet troops from Kyiv in the fall of the same year, an ammunition depot was set up in the church. Worship services were resumed during the occupation, in early 1942. Preserved. Active. Modern view: http: www.doroga.ua poi Kievskaya Podolje Pokrovskaya_cerkovj 3065 German postcard from the WWII.
