St. Basil the Great Church in Kosiv is part of a monastery. The locals call the temple Moskalevskyi after the name of the district where it is located. The wooden St. Basil the Great Church was built in 1895. At that time, a bell tower was also added to the temple. The architectural style is traditional for that time - Hutsul. The church is adorned with numerous onion-shaped domes and one large tent.

In 2009, a fire occurred, and the church burned down. However, in 2011, St. Basil the Great Church was restored based on drawings and photographs preserved in the archive. The new church is also made of wood and completely replicates the previous structure.
