Exaltation of the Holy Cross church in Chernivtsi, Roman Catholic minor basilica in Chernivtsi, Ukraine.
The Exaltation of the Holy Cross church features seven Gothic Revival altars and displays solar clocks on its left facade showing Vienna time.
Emperor Joseph II commissioned the first stone church in Chernivtsi during the late 18th century, with construction beginning in 1787 and facing multiple structural challenges.
The interior walls and ceilings contain floral motif frescoes, while the architectural design draws inspiration from the Church of Rome and European cathedral styles.
Located at 20 Holovna Street in central Chernivtsi, the church maintains regular services and welcomes both worshippers and architectural enthusiasts throughout the year.
The church houses an organ recognized among Europe's finest instruments, which has maintained its exceptional tonal quality through centuries of continuous use.
