Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary () is a stone church, an architectural monument of national importance in Rosokhy, Sambir Raion, Lviv Oblast, Ukraine.
History At one time, the parish belonged to the Starosilskyi deanery. In 1926, a new brick church was built on the site of the old stone church. Until 1874, it functioned as a chapel, and later received parish status.
According to restoration expert , the church was probably built in the 13th century (although most date it later). The building, located on a hill near the road, served a dual purpose: religious and defensive, serving as the main point of protection for residents during Tatar raids.
The temple is three-part, three-domed, built of broken stone on lime mortar. It consists of a nave, a narthex, and an apse. The massiveness and power of the structure are emphasized by sloping buttresses at the corners. An additional line of defense is created by a stone wall with rectangular loopholes surrounding the church grounds.
