Skolivshchyna

On the whole of Europe, the largest and most valuable examples of wooden construction have survived in Ukraine. In the Skolevshchyna and Turkivshchyna in the XVIII century a process of creating a new type of sacred object took place, that is, its Western-Ukrainian interpretation of the vertical composition of the church structure was going on. This process lasted for almost two centuries and ended with the fact that in these two regions formed its original volumetric planning decision, which later became known as the Boyk-type church.

Skolivshchyna architecture in the tree became famous not only all over Ukraine, but beyond it. After all, Boiko wooden architecture already occupies a prominent place in the history of world architecture with its originality and plurality of building types. Each of these types has its own special image.
