General information about Saint Paraskevia Church (Stilsko)

The Church of the Holy Great Martyr Paraskevia in the village of Stilsko was founded in 1831 next to the new cemetery at the foot of the Stilsko settlement.

Due to a lack of funds, the construction was delayed and was completed in 1843 thanks to the financial assistance of Count Stanislav Skarbek.

The architecture of the temple is an example of the Teresian style characteristic of that time. The church is single-nave, rectangular in plan, basilica type, with a three-tiered tower above the entrance. Above the entrance door, the coat of arms of Skarbek is embossed - as a sign of gratitude for his patronage. A stone arch-bell tower is placed in front of the entrance.

Церква Святої Великомучениці Параскевії в селі Стільсько була закладена у 1831 році поруч із новим цвинтарем біля підніжжя Стільського городища.

Через брак коштів будівництво затягнулося і було завершене у 1843 року завдяки фінансовій допомозі графа Станіслава Скарбека.

Архітектура храму є зразком характерного для того часу терезіанського стилю. Церква однонавна, прямокутна у плані, базилікального типу, з триярусною вежею над входом. Над вхідними дверима вибитий герб Скарбека – на знак вдячності за його меценатство. Перед входом розміщена кам'яна арка-дзвіниця.

Церква СвятоЇ Параскевії належить громаді Української греко-католицької церкви. Храмове свято відзначають 10 листопада.
