Assumption Church (Lyutenka)

It belongs to the number of landmark works of architecture of the Ukrainian Renaissance. ^[2] In terms of spatial composition, it was built on the model of the St. George's (St. George's) Church in the Vydubychi Monastery in Kiev. Stone, nine-part, cross, five-domed, cold temple. Faceted sleeves of a spatial cross crowned with bicompous tops repeating the central dome standing on a wider drum. The single-tier rooms between the crustaceans of the cross are square in plan, their reduced volumes emphasize the harmony and scale of the lateral compartments, the pyramidal nature of the centric composition. The temple is marked by the harmony of parts, the originality of the architectural solution of each facet, portals, window frames, cornices, etc. On the western side was a low, original in form, two-story porch in the form of a faceted rotunda. The temple is one of the rare monuments, in the masonry of the walls having wooden bars-ties below, as well as iron ties in the heels of the supporting arches.

The church was the Three See, with chapels in the name of the Archangel Michael and St. Trinity, had a carved five-tiered iconostasis (destroyed in the 1st half of the 20th century).

At the beginning of the 19th century a four-tier bell tower was erected from the west. In 1887-1890 the bell tower was dismantled and a stone two-tier bell tower was built in the architectural forms of historicism. Two gates were built on both sides of the belfry, the first tier is a three-part four, the second is a two-story octagon with an upper arched tier of ringing, crowned with an octagonal dome with a fracture and a flashlight.

The Lutenok prison is mentioned in 1636, when a wooden church could be built along with the fortifications. ^[2] In 1659, the Tatars of Karach Bey (d. In December 1663) burned a fortress and a wooden seven-domed church. From 1670, the Lutensky centurion, from 1672 - the Gadyatsky monkey, from 1687 to 1704 - the Gadyatsky colonel Borokhovich on the ashes of the Lutensky fortress begins to build the stone Assumption Church.

According to archeology, the wooden church on the site of the Assumption existed until 1687, when the altar part of the stone church was erected exactly around the previous building. ^[2]

Hetman Ivan Bryukhovetsky was buried in the Epiphany Church he built in Gadyach , later, as historian Granovsky testifies, his ashes were transferred to the town of Lyutenka. The reason for the transfer of dust was the fact that the Epiphany Church at that time fell into disrepair . "Local tradition has survived that when opening the grave of Bryukhovetsky, to transport his remains to metro Lyutenka, the very coffin was found hanging on thick iron chains and survived quite well." After the reburial, the coffin with the ashes of the hetman on the same massive chains was attached in a crypt under the Assumption Church. ^[3]

In 1709, Daniel Krman visited the church: the Swedish Guard came out from Gadyach on February 21, and we set off on March 18. An hour later they came to the monastery, and after two miles in severe frost they came to the city of Lutenka, surrounded by moats and ramparts, where they received a comfortable apartment from the local commandant Mr. Sparre. Here we saw a very beautiful temple of God, recently built of stone. His altar, they say, was worth twenty thousand, and the entire construction of 100,000 Cossack florins, with one Cossack florin worth ten imperial pennies. I have never seen such an altar in my life, and it struck me all the more that I did not see any stone in Kozak. It was wide and towered high, on it various sculptures decorated with gold and bright colors. Near the altar they showed the remains of an old priest buried more than a hundred years ago. But his face and hair are still preserved, they say because he was surprisingly righteous. In the evening, three men honored us with the trilogy singing, one bass, and two treble, and told that only children were occasionally attracted to public singing. ^[four]

Lutenka market town Assumption church, stone with the same bell tower, cold, built in 1686 ... church stone gatehouse; church library ... where is the deacon’s apartment; in addition, the church became dilapidated with a non-residential house and a stone shop; church lands 9 des. 800 sq. m., rushnaya -34 tithes. The cemetery of All Saints attributed to this church is a wooden church, cold. ^[3] The cemetery church was built in 1860, but was founded in 1673 and has a bell cast in 1675, thus being the oldest church in Lutenki.

In 1954 it was placed under state protection as an architectural monument.

In 1955, under the leadership of arch. P. Zakharchenko developed a restoration project, which provided for the restoration of the hypothetical initial forms of the five tops, distorted by the restructuring of 1890. The monument began to collapse and was undermined in 1974, ^[4] four of the five chapters collapsed. In April 1985, the remains of the temple and the bell tower were blown up. ^[2]

In 2008-2010, the archaeological expedition of the Poltava National Pedagogical University named after V. G. Korolenko and the Poltava Museum of Local Lore was carried out.

In 2012, on the site of the ruins, construction of the wooden church was begun by Archpriest Vasily (Lylo). The temple is built on voluntary donations from a religious community (without a general sponsor).

In 2015, the cornerstone of the future church was consecrated with the blessing of Metropolitan Philip of Poltava and Mirgorod, Archpriest Stepan (Kavchak), Archpriest Vasily (Lilo).
