Among the attractions of Transcarpathia, the architecture of the Hutsuls, one of the indigenous peoples of the Carpathians, occupies a special place with its unique and beautiful wooden churches.
Church of the Ascension (Strukivska) in the urban village of Yasinya located in the east of the Zakarpattia region is one of these old and amazing churches. Yasinya on Google Maps. Photos by: Maxim Ritus.
The path to the church goes across a picturesque hinged bridge.
This church is the main attraction of the former center of Hutsul’shchyna – the historical and ethnographic land of the Hutsuls.
Built in 1824, this church, together with other wooden churches of the Carpathians, is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Near the church there is an old cemetery and a belfry built in 1813.
