Armenian Church, Bershad

In the late 17th century, Armenians played a significant role in the life of Berezhany . There have been 200 dwellings, a village elder, the judicial system. And there was a wooden church in which there were Armenian school and fraternity. In 1746 representatives of this nationality began at his own expense to build a stone church. In the same year it was consecrated by giving her   the name of St. George.   The main altar was dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary.

Temple turned eclectic in its outlines peeps   Baroque style, and powerful stone walls surrounding it, talked about his fortification value. In 1810, a fire caused substantial damage to the church. It was restored, returning the previous form, only 50 years later. However, despite the fact that   it is well preserved to this day, the church is now empty. It is located near the chapel with three recesses in the form of arcades, intended for bells. Near the temple is an old Armenian house with attic and easy entrance. On the other side of the church is located the former dean of the Armenian dwelling, built in the 19th century. Here in 1825-1829 he lived and attended the local grammar school Markiyan Shashkevych - a prominent educator Galich.
