Attractions of Verkhnie Synovydne

The wooden church of the Cathedral of Holy Virgin is located in Verkhnie Synovydne on the monastery site of the Golden Mountain, where in ancient times there was a monastery of the Most Holy Theotokos, which was visited by Prince Danylo Halytskyi.

After the monastery was destroyed in the 16th century, the monastery was empty for some time. In 1790, the church of Saint George (Yuriy) was founded in the northeastern part of the former monastery (perhaps on the site of the former monastery church).

The current church was built on the site of the fallen predecessor in 1939 according to the project of the architect Yevhen Nahirnyi.

Today it is the church of the Cathedral of the Most Holy Theotokos of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (the Cathedral of the Mother of God).

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 church.
