Attractions of Perechyn

The only monument to the postman in the country is installed in the park on the central square of Perechyn.

The monument is dedicated to Fedir Feketa, a resident of the village of Turya Remeta, who in the middle of the 19th century worked as a postman and every day covered 10 kilometers of the mountain road from his native village to Perechyn and back. He worked regardless of the weather, repeatedly met wild animals on the road, but he always delivered the mail on time, for which he received the respectful nickname "Ambassador" from his fellow villagers. After his death in 1839, grateful compatriots installed a memorial plaque on the local church with the inscription: "Fedir Feketa. In memory of the ambassador's kindness, sobriety, honesty, service."

The monument in Perechyn was erected in 2005.

The Local Lore Museum museum of the city of Perechyn opened in 2019 in the century-old building of the gendarmerie from the times of Austria-Hungary and Czechoslovakia.

Workshops on pottery and vechernika are held with the participation of the "Karichka" team.

The Roman Catholic Church of Saint Avhustyn in Perechyn was built at the beginning of the 20th century with the assistance of a local forestry plant, as many foreign specialists from Catholic countries worked at the enterprise.

The initiator was the Italian Hayotto Franchesko, who purchased a plot of land and allocated part of the funds for construction.

The church was consecrated on the day of Saint Avhustyn, receiving its name in his honor.

The temple in the eclectic style is small, but tall (34 meters) and very slender, directed to the sky.

The Orthodox Saint Nicholas Church is located on an elevation in the center of the city.

The first wooden Orthodox church of Saint Nicholas in Perechyn is mentioned in 1751. It was located on the territory of the cemetery a little higher than the current stone temple, which was built in 1763-1769. Its high bell tower, added in 1810, is clearly visible on the hill of Hurka, a little outside the city center.

The Greek-Catholic Church of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker rises above the center of Perechyn with two slender towers.

The temple was founded in the 18th century. During Soviet times, the Saint Nicholas Church was closed, the building was neglected and falling into disrepair. Reconstruction was completed in 2002. The relics of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker are kept here.
