Saint John the Baptist Church
The Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church of Saint John the Baptist was built in Verkhnie Synovydne at the end of the 19th century as the Roman Catholic Church of Virgin Mary of Chenstokhova.
The church building has a typical appearance for Carpathian churches: a tall structure with a steep bell tower. To the right and left of the entrance, the church is decorated with biblical frescoes: the image of the angel who brought the good news to Mary about the birth of a son, and the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist.
On the territory of the Church of Saint John the Baptist there is a memorial sign in honor of the residents of the village - heroes of Ukraine who died in the fight against the invaders. There is also a cross on a pedestal with a figure of the Virgin Mary next to the chu ...

Українська греко-католицька церква Святого Івана Хрестителя збудована у Верхньому Синьовидному в кінці ХІХ століття як римо-католицький костел Матері Божої Ченстоховської.
Будівля церкви має типовий для карпатських храмів вигляд: висока споруда зі стрімкою вежею-дзвіницею. Праворуч і ліворуч від входу храм прикрашений біблійним фресками: зображенням янгола, що приніс благу звістку Марії про народження сина, і процес хрещення Ісуса Іваном Хрестителем.
На території церкви Святого Івана Хрестителя розташований пам`ятний знак на честь жителів села - героїв України, які загинули в боротьбі проти окупантів. Також поряд із церквою розташований хрест на постаменті з фігурою Діви Марії.
