Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ, Ivano-Frankivsk

The Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ features three naves and two towers on its western front, displaying Baroque and Classical architectural elements.

Built between 1752 and 1761 under Stanisław Potocki's direction, the cathedral replaced an earlier Jesuit church that experienced structural problems.

The cathedral transformed from a Jesuit church to a Greek Catholic cathedral in 1885, reflecting the religious changes in western Ukraine.

The cathedral maintains regular services and ceremonies for over 600,000 Catholics in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, covering an area of 6,700 square kilometers.

The brick structure combines both Baroque and Classical styles, making it a principal example of 18th-century religious architecture in western Ukraine.
