The Transcarpathian village of Chetfalva (in the Soviet times the name Cetovo was on the maps) - at first glance, differs little from other villages in the south-western part of Ukraine. However, there is a structure that strikes one's eye with its unusualness. This is the Catholic Church of the Holy Spirit, resembling the Indian wigwam or the egg of a giant bird.

The Transcarpathian village Chetfalva(in Soviet times, the name Cetovofirst view, does not differ much from other villages in the south-western part of Ukraine. However, there is a structure that strikes one's eye with its unusualness. This is the Catholic Church of the Holy Spirit, outwardly reminiscent of the Indian wigwam or the egg of a giant bird. Belfry also has the form of a parabolic arch, unusual for Christian churches. A visitor entering a tourist may have a dumb question when looking at the nearby crucifixand iconostasis. However, everything is explained quite simply. In addition to the futuristic appearance, the temple is also characterized by a kind of religious tolerance: in a certain order, there are services of God, both Roman and Greek Catholics.

The temple is relatively young - it was built in 1998, and opened in 2001. It will not be difficult to find it - the temple is located on the central square, but local attractions and the village as a whole can be somewhat confusing for Ukrainian villages landscapes. Chetfalva, rather, resembles Hungary, which is not surprising, because near the village flows the river Tisa, which is a section of the Ukrainian-Hungarian border.
