The church of St. Nicholas is also called the ‘lower’ one, as in the village there are two churches dedicated to one patron saint, and the dwellers have to distinguish them by geography. The inscription on the log says that ‘the holy temple was built in the year of God 1699’. The master was a local man, and the church was lifted up in order the rotten logs to be replaced. Thus, the temple was built at least 40-50 years before this lifting up, i.e. in the 17th century. The lower St. Nicholas church consists of two oak log cabins, which are covered with a high gabled roof under a shingled roof and is covered with a ribbon of a long terrace. Inside the central room is covered with an arched vault, the narthex is trapezoidal and the altar frame is covered with a flat ceiling. The high frame tower is covered with a hip, typical for many churches of Rakhiv region. Strict looking temple is devoid of any decorations, except for the small windows that infringes upon the monolithic log surface.
