Saint Paraskeva Church
Temple , Architecture
The wooden church of Saint Paraskeva with a bell tower was built in the center of the village of Kosmach in 1753.
In the early 1960s, the church was closed by the Soviet authorities. At the same time, some of the icons from the church iconostasis were taken to Kyiv for the filming of Serhiy Paradzhanov's film "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors". After the filming, the icons were transferred for storage to the Arts of Prykarpattya Museum in Ivano-Frankivsk, which saved them from destruction by the fire that destroyed the church of Saint Paraskeva in 1983.
The bell tower, damaged by the fire, was saved and restored.
