Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker

Oleksintsi Ukraine

Ukrainian Orthodox

The church, in the center of the village, was built in 1890. It was originally Greek Catholic. It was closed from 1965-1966, and then opened for just a few weeks. In 1990 the village was divided into Greek Orthodox and Greek Catholics and the Orthodox retained the church. During the Soviet era, a clock was installed on the clock tower by a woman, born here and living in Canada. The church was repainted in 1993.
