Cathedral of the Holy Spirit
At a distance of five kilometers to the southeast from the village of Volovets, Zakarpattia region, on the slopes of picturesque mountains, the village of Guklivy is located. The population of the village is slightly more than two thousand inhabitants. A relatively new wooden church stands at the entrance to the village, and a real masterpiece of folk architecture is hidden a little further, near the turn to Mount Velikiy Verkh. This is the Church of the Descent of the Holy Spirit built in the 18th century with elements of the Baroque style. The church is built of spruce on a foundation of river stones on a clay solution. This masterpiece of Verkhovyna folk architecture is the oldest in the entire Volovetsk district.
The temple is surprisingly slender and proportional. The eight-meter bell tower is part of a wonderful architectural ensemble. According to the entry in the “Hukliv Chronicle”, the iconostasis of the church was painted in 1784 by the German artist Franz Peyer. From the same chronicle, we can learn that the village was founded by Ivan Bobko and Peter Petskevich, natives of Halychyna, back in 1588.
