Chetfalva

Chetfalva (Ukrainian: Четфалва, Hungarian: Csetfalva) is a village located in Berehove Raion of Zakarpattia Oblast in western Ukraine.

In 1513, Lónyay Albert and his wife bought the village from Sarah, the widow of János Tarcsa, for a perpetual price.

[6] In 1904, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Hungary approved the coat of arms of the village, based on the ancient seal of Chetfalva from the 16th century.

A retaining wall was built at the southwest corner of the nave.The ceiling of the nave was painted in 1753 by Ferenc Lándor Asztalos.

All 60 cassettes of the nave ceiling are full of folk motifs and embellished with floral ornamentation, only two of which are repeated, and they alternate like a chessboard, consisting of darker and lighter blue fields.

Its well-proportioned, high, skirted, galleried, wooden bell tower with four buttresses is covered by a needle-pointed helmet.

The tower simply stands on the ground - it has no foundation, instead, stones are laid around the perimeter with a wooden strap that rests on 16 support columns connected by an advanced bracing system.
