TheChurch of the Resurrection in Stara Sola was probably built in the fifteenth century. It is located a little further along the Staryi Sambir-Khyriv road in the former Voskresenskyi suburb. The suburban Church of the Resurrection is mentioned in the lustration of the Russian Voivodeship of 1565-1566. Two suburban old village churches are also mentioned in the tax register of 1589.
In 1669, the church was granted a privilege by King Michael of Poland. According to the historian Mykhailo Drahan, the wooden church was built in the seventeenth century, although some shematisms date it to 1460. At the end of the seventeenth century, a bell tower was added to the western wall of the Babynets.
The earliest description of the church is preserved in an inventory compiled in 1832: "This church is built of soft wood, with two tops. It is 8 fathoms long and 3.5 fathoms wide. The bell tower on four pillars is attached to the narthex."
During the battles of the First World War in 1914, the church was damaged - a cannonball demolished part of the nave wall. During the repairs of 1915, this part was sewn up with boards. In 1945, the Soviet authorities closed the church.
During the repairs of 1955 and 1980, all the roofs and walls of the nave and the porch were gradually covered with tin. After the church was reopened for worship, the community made several repairs, and in the early 2000s erected a stone bell tower nearby. After 1990, a vestry and a sacristy were added to the altar from the south.
During the renovation in 2006, the octagon of the nave was covered vertically with plastic clapboard, which covered the windows, making it blind. At the same time, the walls of the church were covered with horizontally calibrated boards in the form of whips, and the porches, roofs, and tents were covered with metal roofs. Inside the church, the walls are covered with cardboard and covered with stencil paintings. Obviously, all of this contributed to the building's salvation in some way, although at the same time it negatively affected its historical charm, which is much more pronounced in the neighboring church.
The wooden, three-story, two-story building is crowned with tent tops on the low octagonal altar and nave (the latter stands on a high four-story log wall above the nave). The third pyramidal top covers the pillared bell tower, which has merged with the church.
Buses to Khyriv-Dobromyl, which run through Stara Sil, depart from AS-Zakhidna (Horodotska Street, Metro hypermarket). With an average travel interval of 30-40 minutes, take the Lviv-Sambir-Uzhhorod highway. At the entrance to Staryi Sambir, turn right. The distance is 95 km.
