Holy Virgin Cathedral Church

Temple , Architecture , UNESCO world heritage site

The wooden church of the Cathedral of the Holy Virgin in Matkiv is located on a low hill in the center of the village and occupies a dominant place in the panorama of the mountain village.

Included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in the category "Wooden Churches of the Carpathian Region of Ukraine".

The church was built by Boyko masters Ivan Melnykovych and Vasyl Ivanykovych, and is characterized by an unusual multi-tiered structure. In plan, the temple consists of three square log cabins: a larger central one and smaller side ones. All log cabins are covered with helmet-shaped partitions with intercepts on pyramidal figures of eight with folds (the central head has five folds, the lateral ones have four folds each).

Nearby is a wooden belfry built in 1924 with a balcony on the second floor.

Both buildings are considered masterpieces of the Boyko school of folk architecture.
