Tserkov of St. Onuphrius in Posada Rybotycka is Poland’s oldest brick tserkov with defensive structures
It represents Gothic style and its specific fragments date from various periods. Its oldest part is the chancel dating from the late 14th/early 15th century. The features added in the 15th century include the nave with the roof structure taking the form of a fortified tower, and another similar tower with a vestibule and chapel used by monks. The thick-walled towers comprise loopholes. Originally an Orthodox church, later it was part of a Basilian monastery complex. Inside we can see a brick iconostasis wall. Another noteworthy feature, the 17th century paintings in the chancel represent a combination of fresco and tempera techniques. With their subject matter they refer to south Slavic art. The tserkov is located along the yellow hiking trail and a cycling trail.
The landmark is situated within the Przemyśl Foothills Landscape Park.
