In the years 1801-1803, on the site of the current shopping and entertainment complex “Europe” (the former “Officers’ House”), the Transfiguration Church was built, consecrated on September 4, 1803 by the bishop of Little Russia and Pereyaslav S. Lebedynsky. The three-tiered carved gilded iconostasis was made only in 1866 for the donations of the parishioners.
After the revolution of 1917, the Transfiguration Church was closed and dismantled in the mid-1930s. Bricks are used to build a parapet around the MUD square, and construction waste is used to fill the swamp on Sinnyi Square. The fate of books and icons is unknown.
Period: until 1917
Location: Kremenchuk, located on the site of the modern shopping center “Europe”
