The Ascension Church was built in Korop in 1764 at the expense of the Cossack chieftain Petro Yurkevych, who commanded the artillery unit stationed in the city, the General Armata.

The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built approximately in 1671 on the site where, according to legend, in ancient times there was a pagan temple with Slavic idols. The temple is five-domed, cross-shaped in plan. Made in the classic Ukrainian baroque style.

The small brick Assumption Church of the so-called diocesan architecture is the "youngest" in Sedniv. Located on a hill on the outskirts of the village.

The temple was built in 1860. Then throughout the Russian Empire old wooden churches were replaced by stone structures. The basis was "exemplary" (tested) projects, which diocesan architects adapted to a specific place. Decorative elements of Russian architecture of the XIV-XVI centuries were used to decorate these temples. Such is the Assumption Church in Sedniv.

On the western side there is a tented belfry. After World War II, it was the only functioning church in the entire district.

The wooden Church of the Assumption of the Holy Virgin Mary in Voloskivtsi was built in 1765 next to the ancient castle.

Forms are characteristic of Ukrainian Baroque architecture. The temple is cruciform in plan, at the intersection of four high lateral log cabins, an octagonal top is placed. The sides of the sleeves have a pronounced slope towards the center of the structure. In this way, the masters strengthened the perspective and created the illusion of a higher building.

From the western side, the temple is combined with a three-tiered wooden bell tower, added in the middle of the 19th century.

The Church of the Assumption in Voloskivtsi is an architectural monument of national importance.

The western, southern and northern entrances are decorated with four-column porticoes of the Tuscan order with triangular pediments.
