Descent of the Holy Spirit Church

This large church in the village of Sokolivka was built in the Hutsul style in 1886 at the expense of the local community and consecrated in honour of the Holy Spirit.

There is a two-tiered bell tower, also built in 1886 near the church. The entrance to the church is through the first tier. The bells are on the second tier. The bell tower is crowned with three tops.

As already mentioned, the church is a type of Hutsul architecture. It is cruciform in plan - it is based on an elongated cross, a one-storeyed church with seven tops crowned with crosses. The church originally had a shingle roof, but in the 1970s the roof was covered with tin.

The church has preserved the original carved, gilded iconostasis with several rows of icons, with the royal and side gates.

The architectural ensemble consisting of the church and the bell tower is included in the State Register of National Cultural Heritage.
