The Village Of Rekity Mezhgorsky district<\/a> Transcarpathian region is one of the oldest in the entire region and a surprisingly picturesque corner of Transcarpathian.<\/p>\n\n

Historical documents show that the first settlers appeared in the area of the present village of Rekita in the XVI century. A hundred years later, in the XVII century, when the village grew, a good Church was built on the mountainsidewooden church<\/a> with spruce beams<\/a>, named in honor ofsacred nikolay<\/a>. Present type church<\/a> acquired after another reconstruction in 1854 (another reconstruction took place in 1751, perhaps this was due to the next transfer of the structure to a new location).<\/p>\n\n

The Church dvosobna, consists of three parts, although at first she was a three-tiered boykovsky type<\/a>.Due to the fact that the Church stands on the slope of the mountain, in order to achieve a horizontal position of the building, an additional log house was built under the Eastern part of the Church. Nava and Babinets have a five-wall frame, which is adjacent to a narrower rectangular frame of the altar part. The high and rather rapid roof of the five-wall log house smoothly passes over the altar into a lower three-pitched one. A single-tiered gallery adjoins the wall of Babinets on the Western side, and a not very high square tower-bell tower rises above Babinets, whose octagonal hipped roof passes into the hostryi shpyl’<\/a> with a cross.<\/p>\n\n

Along the perimeter of the Church is arranged poddashe, which is based on three \nsides (South, East, and North ) on the cut-out sections of log cabins, \nand at the Western wall – on the column of the gallery-turnats, once open, but now glazed. \nThe roof of the Church is covered with shingles. The walls were covered with boards.<\/p>\n
