Church of the Ascension

The Church of the Ascension in Lukashivka is an Orthodox church building featuring stone walls, multiple domes, and traditional architectural elements characteristic of religious structures in the Chernihiv region. Its construction reflects the building practices and design traditions of the Russian Empire period.

An initial wooden structure from 1781 was replaced by a stone building in 1913, following the architectural patterns common during that period. This conversion to stone represented an important step in establishing the site as a permanent religious monument.

For many decades, this place served as a central gathering point where locals came together for worship and community events. The shift in its use reflects how circumstances changed the role it played in people's daily lives.

The site is open to visitors who wish to observe Orthodox services or explore the traditional architecture of the building. Visitors should remember that this is an active place of worship and respectful conduct is expected throughout a visit.

The building suffered significant damage during military conflicts when it was temporarily used for storage purposes. These visible scars tell a recent story of destruction and how places of worship can be affected by warfare.
