Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary belongs to the Hutsul school of traditional church building. The building is cruciform in plan, five-storeyed, and one-storeyed. Thanks to the artistic means, perfect proportions, good location and a raised stone base, the interior space of the church, despite its small size, impresses with its high-rise solemnity.

According to one of the most common versions, the church was built in 1615 in the village of Yablunytsia, and allegedly moved to Vorokhta in 1780 over a new cemetery. In 1860, the church was moved to a new location, where it stands today. A Lviv researcher of sacred buildings, Vasyl Slobodian, based on the 1826 Inventory of the Church in Vorokhta, which is kept in the Central State Archives of Ukraine in Lviv, deduces another date for the construction of the church – 1811. This document contains the following information: “Built on behalf of the church pharmacists before 15 years at the expense of the citizens of Mykulychyn and Vorokhta, it is covered with shingles, has one dome crowned with an iron cross… This church is in good condition and can be valued at 200 florins.” The land for the construction of the church was donated by the Mocherniak family.  

The first memorial cross, which was laid by the church council in 1785, has been preserved in front of the church, and the interior has wall paintings of the XIX century.

This church was built without a single nail and is considered to be the most perfect in form and architectural proportions. 

It is an architectural monument of national importance.
