SEREDNIE VODIANE

Two wooden churches are preserved in the Rumanian village. The upper church belongs to the most ancient wooden churches of the river Tysa valley and of Ukraine. The oak logworks are the oldest parts (1428) and the structure over them was raised in about 1600. In 1760 another reconstruction took place. The severe monumental forms of the church resemble medieval Romanesque buildings. The dark manful silhouette of the church stands out against the sky. This church is one of the few wooden chuches with murals. Four-level iconostasis dates from 1761. There is a wooden framework bell-tower near the church and an interesting wooden crucufixion.
