The Prophet Elijah Church is a classicist church from the first half of the 19th century in Sumy on Illinska Street. It stands on an artificial embankment, making it easily noticeable among the surrounding buildings.
Architecture
The church is single-tiered, four-columned, centric, and rectangular in plan. In its outline, it resembles a "ship-church": a narthex is attached to the west, above which rises a two-tiered tower with a dome and a spire. The architecture combines classicism with elements of eclecticism.
The Elijah Church is one of several old churches in Sumy that are worth exploring together during a walk through the city center and its old quarters.
