Khust

The Danylovo Gothic church is the youngest and may be the most beautiful among the Gotic churches of Khust district. It has astonishing proportions. The composition of the forms stresses the swift upward flight of the tower with very high spire — it seems in a moment the wooden miracle would overcome the gravitation. The structure of oak logs is two sectional, three-partite. On the western facade the closed porch is decorated with arch windows. The murals in the interior were painted in 1828 by I.Kornmayer. A slender wooden bell tower is situated near the church.

The Gothic church in Oleksandrivka is built on the top of the hill and its silhouette is clearly cut against the mountains on the background. The church is two sectional, three-partite with the walls inclined to the middle of the structure. The tower with four turrets around the spire is raised over the western chamber. The main facade has an open porch with arch gallery. A gorgeous wall painting preserved in the church is a work of Stefan Terebelski from 1779.

Another Gothic masterpiece stands in this village. High doubly sloped roofs top off the two oak log sections. Bigger chamber is subdivided into narthex and nave. High tower has a tent roof with high spire and four turrets at the corners. At the main facade there is a closed porch with portal and three-cornered windows. Iconostatsis was made in 1748. Restorers suggest that church was constructed in the village of Shashvsr at the beginning of the 17 th century. In 1770 it was transferred to Sokyrnytsia and reconstructed. The same year a tall bell tower was erected using framed timber technique.
