Krainykovo is a village with a population of about 1,500 people located in Khust district of the Zakarpattia region, 126 km southeast of Uzhhorod.
The main attraction of the village is the wooden Gothic Church of the Archangel Michael built in 1668. This is one of the oldest churches in the area and one of the most original places of worship in the region.
The height of the church is 25 meters, the length – 14 meters. In 1997, the church was returned to the small local Greek-Catholic community, 50 years after its closure (1947). St. Michael Church on Google Maps. Photos by: Maxim Ritus.
