Brick Greek Catholic parish church, built in 1904, thanks to the efforts of a Greek Catholic parish priest - priest Wasyla Czernecki, in the place of several previous churches, the oldest of which was mentioned in the first half of the 16th century, and the predecessor of the present was the church built in 1724 from the foundation of the owner of the village - Grand Hetman Adam Mikołaj Sieniawski. The predecessor of the present church was renovated in 1873, a gilded iconostasis was also installed there. Services in the old church took place until the new church was consecrated, later it was demolished. The existing stone church was designed by architect Teodor Mielniczuk in the neo-Byzantine style, on a cross plan with a presbytery separated from the east, closed on three sides. At the intersection of the arms of the cross stands a lofty dome, mounted on a circular drum. The external façade from the west, north and south is semi-circularly crowned, supported on the sides by pairs of slender semi-columns with Byzantine capitals. On the facade axis from the east there is an extensive portal, enclosed by double and fused semi-columns, closed with a semi-circular archivolt, decorated with delicate floral motifs. A year of construction of the church was immortalized above the main entrance. On the axis of the facade above the entrance and on the side facades are large windows in the type of decoratively designed triforów. On the southern facade above the window, an additional plaque with the image of the Virgin Mary with the Child was placed, and on the northern one - St. Joseph. The interior has been given a more severe architectural appearance. The massive pillars enclosed by pilasters are separated from the plane of the walls, on which arches of barrel and vaults are supported. The equipment of the church has not survived. Only fragments of the old interior survived preserved in museum collections. Among them are several icons that once formed an iconostasis wall, which are stored in the Museum in Lubaczów. #jewishheritage #jewishhistory #history #church #abandoned #wajda #stary dzikow
