The Church of Saint Francis in Deliatyn was built in 1857.

The Austrian emperor Franz Joseph came to Deliatyn and took part in the foundation of the temple, pouring gold ducats into every corner. He personally planted four cedars brought from Vienna near the church.

The Church of Saint Francis is built in the Romanesque-Gothic style. The temple was consecrated in 1882.

In 1945, the Soviet authorities closed the church, the premises were used as a military warehouse. In the 1970s, it housed one of the workshops of the local lumber mill, and then it was simply left unattended and falling into disrepair.

Thanks to scientist Volodymyr Klapchuk, who tried to preserve the church by setting up a museum in it, the church was recognized as an architectural monument. In 1992, after the restoration of Ukraine's independence, the church was returned to the Roman Catholic community of Deliatyn.

The Church of Saint John the Merciful is located in the old cemetery on the outskirts of Yaremche - in the village of Yamna, which is on the way out of the city in the direction of Bukovel.

The wooden temple was built in 1663 in the best traditions of folk architecture of the Hutsul region. The church is cruciform in plan, single-headed, with a porch on the crowns of log cabins.

A small iconostasis located in the central log cabin, a large number of embroideries and old icons give the interior of the church the appearance of a museum of folk art.

Nearby is a wooden belfry, the second tier of which is made in the form of an arcade-gallery.

The Church of Saint John the Merciful in Yaremche is a very interesting example of the Hutsul school of folk architecture.

The height of the water drop is about 6 meters. The area is 985 meters above sea level.

Today, it has at its disposal 55 kilometers of tracks of all difficulty levels (the longest track is 2106 meters), equipped with 16 lifts (15 chairlifts and 1 cable lift). Thanks to effective work on the preparation of tracks (snow guns, snow plows), a good snow cover is maintained here from December to the end of April. Several tracks are equipped with stationary lighting. There are ski and snowboard schools.

For summer recreation, there is an artificial lake with sunbeds along the shore, one of the ski lifts works in the mode of a cable car to the observation deck with the "Panorama bar", there is a pump of "Bukovelska" mineral water (an analogue of "Naftusya"), paved cycling and walking routes.

The Ukrainian Museum of Sacred Art opened in November 2019 on the territory of the Baron SPA Hotel in the center of the Yaremche resort. The museum presents a unique collection of religious works of the 17th-21st centuries.

The basis of the exposition are rare works of church art, as well as modern icon painting samples, reproduced from the originals. Most of the icons in the museum's exposition repeated the tragic fate of the Ukrainian church and culture. The total ban and destruction of monuments left deep wounds on the canvases themselves, most of which were saved by patron Ivan Havron and restoration artist, head of the restoration department of the Ivano-Frankivsk Museum of Local History Valeriy Tverdokhlib, after undergoing conservation and restoration.

The collection of the Ukrainian Museum of Sacred Art includes more than 60 works. The pearls of the collection are the icons of the 18th century "Saint Luke" and "Descent into Hell".
