Saint Demetrius Church

Temple , Architecture

The wooden church of Saint Demetrius in Vilkhovytsia is one of the attractions of the wooden architecture of Transcarpathia. Erected without a single nail, it presents the Boyko type of buildings.

In the interior of the church, the opening between the nave and the nave, decorated with carvings, as well as carved images of ancient symbols of the sun and "sunflowers" attract attention.

The temple was built from oak logs in the 17th century in the village of Bystrytsia. In 1910, the Church of the Holy Great Martyr Demetrius was moved to Vilkhovytsia. According to one version, it was bought by wealthier members of the Vilkhovytsia community, according to another - the daughter of a local owner got married and took the temple with her as a dowry. This is what saved the church from destruction.

Saint Demetrius Church is an architectural monument of national significance.
