Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Stoyanov)

Gothic style architecture of the church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus attracts the attention of all who come to small states. Like most Catholic churches, it was expecting a hard life.

The church was erected in 1901 at the expense of the congregation and the Catholic priest B. Yanora. As planned by the priest, the new church was to meet all the canons of Gothic churches in Western Europe. Small construction budget is not allowed to put this idea into practice.

Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was the most ambitious construction of the early 20th century in Stoyanova and the surrounding area. In addition to the unusual style, the church stood realistic figures of Jesus Christ and the Mother of God Ruzhantsovoy.

After the arrival of Soviet power in the Western Ukraine Catholic Church was abolished. The room was to serve as a warehouse, so that the internal design of the hall was almost completely destroyed. For 70 years, were destroyed stained glass, altar and icons, as well as figures of saints.

In 2000 he returned to the temple under the patronage of the Roman Catholic Church. At the same time he began his capital restoration. Old photographs and stories of Polish architects restored the original appearance of the church.

Today the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church acts as. Its doors are open to people of all faiths.
