Church of St. Paraskeva, Sheshory

The picturesque village of Sheshory is in Ivano-Frankivsk region. Here you can fully feel the color of the local population, the spirit of history and the original Hutsul culture.

The wooden church of St. Paraskeva is one of the oldest cultural and religious monuments of Sheshore. It was erected and opened to parishioners in 1874. During the years of Soviet power, the church suffered from management's inattention, repair and rehabilitation work was practically not carried out. After returning to the bosom of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church in the 1990s, she underwent multiple restoration works. The iconostasis was restored, attempts were made to renovate the facade.

Today it is quite difficult to see the pristine beauty of a wooden church, as the local community covered the facade with special sheets of tin, the wooden frames of the church windows replaced modern plastic counterparts. Unfortunately, it practically destroyed the authentic beauty of the temple, which is very frustrating for many visitors and guests of the church.

Beautiful silvery waterfalls are located in the village of Sheshory, festivals of ethnic music are held.
