The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin church in Dergachi, Kharkiv region was built of wood, consecrated in 1685. In the early 19th century a new brick church was built in the style of late classicism. There were few such churches left. Jacob Turansky, priest Fedor Turansky, assistants Oleksandr Ostashevsky, Semen Kvitka, and parishioners took part in its construction.

The church kept true values: the Gospel of 1664, the Apostle of 1688, the Conversations of John Chrysostom of 1624, and the silver cross, a gift from Georgy Filevsky in 1743 and a silver chalice.

After the shelling by Russian troops on April 4, it was severely damaged, including the dome of the temple. On the facade you can see the holes from the wreckage, and in the area in front of the temple there is a funnel from a shell. The blow knocked out the windows. The Russian military also hit the Sunday school and the shop selling icons.
