The Roman Catholic Church of St. Francis is the main attraction of the village of Delyatyn. The laying of the temple took place with the participation of Emperor Franz Josef. The Austrian sovereign arrived on the day of the foundation of the cult construction and personally put several stonesof the future landmarks and poured gold coins into the corners of the building. Also, on the territory adjacent to the church, he planted four cedars, which were brought from Vienna. This event occurred in 1857.

The end of the construction of the temple and its consecration took place in 1882. Until 1945, the church was operational and did not close during military operations. Later, the building of the temple was used as a military warehouse, and after that, in the 1970s, the timber mill's workshop was located here.

Without special supervision, the attraction went into decline. The idea to put in order the destroyed church and make it a museum belongs to the scientist V. Klapchuk. Thanks to his efforts, the church received the status of a monument of architecture. Since 1992, the church of St. Francis belongs to the Roman Catholic community Delyatina.

The architecture of the sights refers to the novel-gothic style. The tall rectangular red-brick building is decorated with large narrow windows in the form of an arch, stone ledges on both sides, a three-tiered tower crowned with a cross, and an annex with a faceted roof. The temple together with the bell tower, built in 2011, is located behind a wooden-stone fence.
