On the main street of the urban village Holopenichi you can see the ruins of an Orthodox church built in the middle of the 19th century. Former Assumption Church It was built on the site of a small wooden church that had stood there since 1712. Finished work on the stone building by 1863.

Kholopenichi what to see?

The result was a rather traditional Orthodox church in architecture, having the shape of an elongated cross. The facade was distinguished by a wide bell tower, ending with an onion dome, and on the sides there were two symmetrical sacristies.

An interesting fact is that the temple remained active almost until the very end of the Second World War, but was badly destroyed in 1944, after which it was not restored.
