Description of the attraction
The founding of the Roman Catholic Church of St. Mary, which is located in the village of Verkhniy Koropets, took place in 1704. Its very appearance was associated with the fact that at that time a large group of German colonists settled in this place, having founded a temple here. The church acquired its present appearance in the 19th century. The strict forms of the temple, the absence of external decoration give this religious building an extremely modest look. It was these characteristics that were characteristic of the Western European churches of that period. Despite the high tower topped with a cross, the building does not dominate the territory, parishioners and visitors. The architectural ensemble is in complete harmony with the world around it, making a kind, "light" impression.
Today the temple is open to everyone. Both numerous tourists and local parishioners come here, who are attracted by the peace and tranquility felt in the temple. Here you can pray to God, or you can just admire the magnificent architecture and interior decoration, but in any case, the temple does not leave anyone indifferent. The temple looks especially solemn during major religious holidays.
