Sokyrnytsia

Sokyrnytsia (Ukrainian: Сокирниця, Romanian: Seclenț, Hungarian: Szeklence) is a village located on the Khust-Synevyr highway near the H09 (Mukachevo-Ivano-Frankivsk-Rohatyn-Lviv) motorway, 10 km from the district center, Khust.

It is thought that Slavic tribes lived here who fought with the Tatars, and later with the Hungarian feudal lords.

The village was linked to the construction of Khust Castle, which allegedly guarded the "Salt Way", which ran along the banks of the Tisza from Aknaszlatina (today Solotvyno), deep into the Hungarian Empire.

The street was named due to the camping location of the Tatar army, which moved from east to west, plundering villages.

Also successfully preserve the frames of the vicar icons of the XVIII century, the royal gates, candlesticks, ark.
