Our Lady of Czestochowa Church

Temple , Architecture

The Church of Our Lady of Czestochowa in Demnia was built by the local Roman Catholic community in 1912-1914, before the start of World War I. The construction was initiated by a priest from Mykolaiv, Wojciech Wojtanowski.

The church was built by Demnia craftsmen from local hewn stone. It has restrained neo-Gothic features, and the open stone masonry and the steep spire of the tower give the church an archaic and monumental appearance.

The temple survived despite damage by Russian troops in 1914, the quartering of the Austrian army in 1916-1917, and the actions of the Soviet authorities, who equipped it with a warehouse and then a gymnasium.

Fragments of wall painting have survived inside the church to this day: the Dove of the Holy Spirit, floral decorations, the date "1917", and geometric motifs.

Currently, the church is in a state of disrepair and is closed for reconstruction. The community plans to revive the sanctuary as an open cultural and educational space that will unite the historical heritage of Demnia, stonemasonry traditions, and modern Ukrainian art.
