Potoky

 

The Tserkva of St. Paraskieva from 1773 dominates the village on its eastern slope. Temple's area was put under a small stone fence. Next to the temple you can find a lately built isolated belfry of a pillar design with a bell from 1839. Over the tower and roof there are baroque bulbs terminated with decoratively metal-tipped iron crosses.
Inside of the church there are preserved fragments of wall painting, predominantly with plant ornament. Dominant is iconostas from 1773, a wooden three-row architecture with czarist gate in the middle, decorated with rich woodcarving that is lively polychromed.
