Church of St. Basil, Apple tree

On the outskirts of the village of Yablonitsa is the church of St. Basil built in 1992. It refers to the young temples, so it is in good condition.

Despite its age, the temple was erected with observance of all classical traditionsof the folk architecture of the Carpathian region. The church has a cross-shaped layout with two tiers. Above the church there are four domes. To the right of the central entrance is a small two-story chapel.

The original decoration of the interior of the temple is the large iconostasis, made by craftsmen in 1995. Especially for this work from the neighboring Delyatina were invited two craftsmen. The artist M. Kuzyuk was engaged in writing the icons. The wall paintings inside the church amaze with its beauty and eccentricity. They were made in 2000 by invited masters.
