A wooden church of 1792 on a hill in the centre of Vyzhenka, an architectural monument of national significance.

The wooden Church of St John of Suceava in Vyzhenka was built in 1792 on a low hill in the centre of the village. It has the status of an architectural monument of national significance and belongs to the Bukovynian school of wooden architecture. The church is classed as a transitional type — from the house type to the single-domed church. At the end of the 19th century a sacristy was added to the sanctuary, in the first half of the 20th century a narthex, and in 1970 a comprehensive restoration was carried out. According to legend, the church was built where local people had once defeated a Tatar horde.
