The wooden Church of the Exaltation of the Cross in Zabolottia is located in the historic center of the village.
A wooden three-log church with equally tall log cabins, typical for northern Volyn, was built in 1794. It belongs to the ancient type of temples with a pentagonal apse. The central log house is completed by a small dome on an octagonal drum with a bulbous head on a dull lantern, which only partially protrudes from under the roof slopes.
The belfry, located to the west of the church, is wooden, three-tiered, with a dome in pseudo-Rus style (1877). To the same period belongs the reconstruction of the monument, visible in the design of the windows installed on the roof in the shape of pedestals in the form of pyramids with apples, the reworking of the dome.
The interior of the Church of the Exaltation of the Cross has preserved the features of the people.
