Wooden Church -Tročany

Wooden Church -Tročany

Wooden Greek-Catholic Church of St. Luke the Evangelist was built in 1739. It was probably brought from nearby village Rešov and is the oldest wooden church across the Carpatian region (from the break of the 15th and 16th centuries). The wooden church has a three-room log construction built on a low stone foundation. It is almost entirely covered with wooden shingles.

Rich interior decorations date back to the 17th century, rich set of icons painted on wood and canvas is from the 16th to 18th centuries. Icons of St. Nicholas, St. Luke the Evangelist, St. Michael the Archangel and the icon of the Crucifixion rank among the most remarkable works. Several other inuque artefacts are worth mentioning such as precious wooden polychrome candlestick, a cross depicting the Crucifixion or books used during worships during the 17th and 18th centuries.
