Kokhavyne. The Monastery of Saint Gerard

Cases of neglect and destruction of monuments of sacred architecture are, sadly, encountered quite often. Sometimes the buildings are restored by parishioners of a different religious denomination, while preserving the original appearance of the church. That is what happened in the historic locality of Kokhavyne, in the settlement of Hnizdychiv in the Lviv region.

Hnizdychiv. Kokhavyne. Church of the Intercession of the Most Holy Mother of God. The former Ascension kostel. 1894.
