Church of the Intercession
Dnistrovka, Kelmenets rayon, Chernivtsi oblast, Ukraine.
In 1756, Princess Maria Hickey and the local community built the first wooden church in the village of Dnistrovka, which burned down in 1883. A new wooden church on a stone foundation was rebuilt the following year in a typical Moscow style and lit as the Intercession Church. At the same time, a parochial school for peasants was built at the church. The domeless Church of the Intercession, along with its tall three-tiered bell tower, can still be seen today southwest of the village center.
