History

In 1903–1905 the church was built according to the project of Lviv architect Mykola Shashkevych and Chortkiv builder Andrii Drazhnovskyi. The bell tower was also built.[2]

On 14 October 1905, on the feast of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin, the church was consecrated by the Bishop of Stanyslaviv of the UGCC, Hryhoriy Khomyshyn.[2]

In 1908, a wooden chapel of the Mother of God was built over the spring, which had previously appeared in the churchyard, and in three years a new brick chapel appeared on the site of the wooden one.[2]

In 1996, a 40-meter-high bell tower was built next to the church.[2]

In the summer of 2001, a new spring, called the All-Queen's Spring, was built near the chapel, and on 11 August 2002, the Archbishop's consecration of the All-Queen's Spring took place by the UAOC Primate a huge community of believers. On 24 August 2004, an image of the Mother of God covered with an omophorion appeared above the chapel. Every year on 11 August, a holiday is sent near the source of the All-Queen.[2]
