Orthodox Church In Volodymyr Volynskyi

Volodymyr Volynskyi, Ukraine

Orthodox church of Christ Nativity, built in 1755-1766.
Built as a Roman-catholic Jesuit temple, since 1840 given to Orthodox monks, till 1921. Then got back to Roman-catholics till 1945.
In the Soviet Union times it stayed derelict and devastated. In 1992 new Ukrainian authorities gave it back to Orthodox church and it was nicely renovated.
