Located on a small hill, this sanctuary is known locally as “Farus” after the original owner of the land on which the church is situated. The parish was incorporated in 1904 and the church was built three years later. By 1920 the congregation had more than forty members. The church’s tripartite shape points to its early construction date, as does the closed dome and the absence of a choir loft, both of which required sophisticated construction methods that were not readily available. The octagonal-based domes and round-headed windows are typical of rural Ukrainian churches.
The church’s interior has been thoroughly renovated over the years. A cemetery and wooden bell tower stand adjacent to the structure.
