Mikvah
Historic area
A small waterfall on the Vyzhenka River and a pool formed by rock washing are a place of Hasidic pilgrimage.
At the beginning of the 18th century, the founder of Hasidism, Izrael Baal Shem Tov, who lived at the foot of Nimchych, built a Jewish mikvah here - a place for ritual ablutions. Every Friday he took baths here.
According to legend, mikveh water has healing properties.
Saint John of Suchavsky Church
Temple , Architecture
The wooden church of Saint John Suchavskyi is located on a low hill in the center of Vyzhenka. It was built in 1792 and consecrated in honor of the most revered saint in Bukovyna.
According to legend, in ancient times there was a chapel here, dedicated to the victory of the Bukovyna residents over the hordes of Khan Batiy. The three-log temple of the transitional type from "house" to "dome" is recognized as a masterpiece of the Bukovyna school of wooden architecture and is protected by the state as an architectural monument of national importance.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, the church of John Suchavsky underwent reconstruction: small rooms were added to the apse and nave, and the roof was raised. During the last restoration, the shingle roof was replaced with a metal one, as a result of which the temple partially lost its authentic appearance.
Saint Nicholas Church
Temple , Architecture
The wooden church of Saint Nicholas was built at the beginning of the 20th century at the village cemetery of Vyzhenka.
The three-domed temple is made in the Hutsul style. Architectural details are hidden under a modern sheet metal coating.
Nearby is a stone chapel under a shingled roof, erected in honor of the abolition of serfdom in the Austrian Empire in 1848. Ancient inscriptions on the walls of the chapel tell about the difficult life of the Ukrainian peasantry under the oppression of serfdom.
