Exaltation of the Cross Church, Stone Orthodox church in Ternopil, Ukraine.
The Exaltation of the Cross Church stands on a hill overlooking Ternopil Pond, featuring a three-tier bell tower added to its western facade in 1627.
Constructed in the first third of the 16th century under Polish Crown Hetman Jan Tarnovsky, this church replaced an ancient wooden cathedral from the Kyivan Rus period.
The church maintains its status as an architectural monument of national importance in Ukraine, representing the preservation of Old Russian architectural traditions.
Located at Nad Stavom Street 16, the church functions both as an active Orthodox religious center and as a historical site open to visitors.
The building served a dual purpose in its early years, operating as both a religious sanctuary and a defensive structure within Ternopil's fortification system.
