Attractions of Chornoholova

"Blue Lagoon" (or Lyutyanska) is the name given to a chain of picturesque floodplains on the mountain river Lyuta, on the territory of the Chornoholova Forestry, 8 kilometers upstream from the village of Chornoholova.

Waterfalls flowing into the river, mountain streams form baths with vertical rocky walls, the water in which has a turquoise hue, for which this place is also called the "Paradise Lagoon of Transcarpathia".

The wooden church of Saint Nicholas is located on the Kurtanichev hill in the village of Chornoholova, which is on the left bank of the Lyutyanka river at the confluence of the Solony stream. This is one of the best examples of Transcarpathian folk architecture.

The temple was built in the 17th century in Boyko style. In 1794, it was reconstructed in the Baroque style. According to the inscription on the crossbar, the rebuilding was carried out by master Khimich from the village of Luchky (now on the territory of Slovakia).

The architectural dominant of the Church of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker was a high tower with a rich baroque finish. A gallery on carved columns gives the structure sophistication. At the same time, the original tent ceilings, characteristic of Boyko churches, as well as the iconostasis of the 18th century have been preserved inside. The small single-tier bell tower is emphatically functional.

In 1913-1924, Father Yuliy Bachynskyi was the parish priest of the Saint Nicholas Church in Chornoholova.
