Kuty

The unique wooden church of Saint Archangel Michael in Kuty was preserved thanks to the students of the University of Banking of the National Bank of Ukraine, who managed to raise funds for its complete reconstruction in 2008. Until that time, the temple was in a deplorable condition.

This masterpiece of sacred architecture was created by the carpenter Hryhoriy Hebych from Sasiv in 1697. The temple is three-log, measuring 13.3 by 6.1 meters. In 1865, an arched gallery was added around the perimeter, which gave the Saint Michael's Church a romantic look.

Today, the Church of Archangel Michael has acquired its original appearance. The funds collected by the students were spent on covering the roof of the church, installing a fire protection system and alarm equipment. The following year, a small area around the temple was paved with cobblestones. Also, the old iconostasis of the 17th century, which was kept in the Olesko castle until now, was returned to the church. The solemn opening of the restored temple took place on September 26, 2010.

The wooden church of the Nativity of the Holy Virgin in Kuty is a monument of wooden architecture of the Galician school of folk architecture.

Built in 1750. Attached to the central log house is a babinets with a covered chapel and a faceted five-sided altar part. The temple is surrounded by a wooden gallery. It was originally covered with shingles, but as a result of the restoration in the 1930s, the authentic wooden covering was replaced by a metal one.

In the interior of the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin, a monumental oil painting by Yaroslav Levytsky (1936) and a wooden, four-tiered, carved gilded iconostasis (second half of the 18th century) have been preserved.

Nearby is a two-story wooden bell tower.

The temple is located in the village cemetery at the entrance to Kuty from Olesko. You can also see an ancient crypt-chapel in the classicism style at the cemetery.
