Attractions of Zhukiv

The wooden church of the Holy Apostle John Theologian is the main attraction of Zhukiv.

The temple on one of the village hills was built in 1873 (according to other sources - in 1803). It was transported to Zhukiv from Naraiv, where it was originally built. The inscriptions "Zhukiv 1928" and "Shumlyany 1928" are embossed on the tin on the domes above the nativity scene and the altar. It is possible that it was in 1928 that the tin covering of the temple was installed and the inscriptions were made.

Next to the church of the Holy Apostle John the Theologian there is an old wooden bell tower, very impressive and small-bellied, which is typical for bell towers of those times and is not characteristic of modern churches.

The People`s Lepky Family Museum was opened in the village of Zhukiv next to the previously erected monument to Bohdan Lepky in 1995 on the initiative of a local teacher, local historian and composer Vasyl Podufalyi with the help of the Lepky family from the USA.

The Lepky family annually conducted cultural and educational activities in the Berezhany region, in particular in Zhukiv, where they lived from 1891 to 1901.

The five exhibition halls of the museum present unique exhibits about the Lepky family, the sons of Father Sylvester Bohdan, Mykola, Levko and other family members.
