Church of St. Nicholas in Sokyrnytsya

Church of St. Nicholas in Sokyrnytsya, a village in the Khust district of the Zakarpattia region, is one of the oldest wooden churches of Transcarpathia, a nice example of wooden Gothic.

The church was originally built in the village of Shashvar (present Trosnik in the Vynohradiv district) in 1709. In 1770, the rebuilt church was moved to Sokyrnytsya. Near the church you can see a tall bell tower of the same year of construction.

Today, the church has remained in fairly good condition, but the locals use a new stone church built nearby.

It is located in the center of the village. To view the church, you can ask for the key people who live across the street. St. Nicholas Church on Google Maps. Photos by: Maxim Ritus.
