General information about Khreshchatyk

The village of Khreshchatyk is located on the high bank of the Dniester 45 kilometers north of Chernivtsi, opposite Zalishchyki.

It appeared after the establishment in the 17th century of a cave Orthodox hermitage near two healing springs. According to the legend, once on the night before the feast of John the Theologian, a glow appeared over the springs. An oak cross was erected at this place, which is where the name of the monastery and the entire village came from. Later, a small chapel with a bell tower appeared. In the 18th century, a church and a chapel in honor of Saint John the Theologian were built above the hermitage complex, which became the foundation of the Khreshchatyk monastery.

During Austrian times, a water main was built, which supplied the village with water from a mineral spring. Now there is a factory that bottles Khreshchatyk  mineral water.

From the picturesque terraces of the village, a fantastic panorama of the Dniester opens, covering the neighboring city of Zalishchyki in a gigantic loop.

Село Хрещатик розташоване на високому березі Дністра в 45 кілометрах на північ від Чернівців, навпроти Заліщиків.

З'явилося після заснування в XVII сторіччі печерного православного скиту біля двох цілющих джерел. За легендою, одного разу в ніч перед святом Іоанна Богослова над джерелами з'явилося сяйво. На цьому місці було встановлено дубовий хрест, звідки пішла назва монастиря і всього села. Пізніше з'явилася невелика каплиця з дзвіницею. В XVIII столітті над комплексом скиту була побудована церква і каплиця на честь Святого Іоанна Богослова, що стала основою Хрещатицького чоловічого монастиря.

За австрійських часів був побудований водогін, який постачав село водою з мінерального джерела. Зараз тут працює завод, який розливає мінеральну воду "Хрещатик" ...

З видових терас села відкривається фантастична панорама Дністра, що охоплює гігантської петлею сусіднє місто Заліщики.

John the Theological Monastery

Temple , Architecture

Saint John the Theologian Khreshchatyk Men's Monastery is the oldest Orthodox monastery in Bukovyna.

Located in a picturesque place on a high rock above the Dniester, from where you can enjoy breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding area. According to legend, it was founded in the 17th century by Orthodox monks who fled from the Uniates from the Manyavsky Skete to Galicia.

According to the legend, on the night of the feast of John the Theologian, a wonderful glow appeared over two healing springs. A cross was built at this place, which gave its name to the cave hermitage founded here. Later, a chapel with a bell tower was built.

Another legend tells how the merchant Teodor Preda Hadzhi, who was passing by, lost his way at night and ended up over the abyss, but the light that appeared at that moment saved him from death. Deciding to build a new stone temple on this site, directly above the hermitage and the chapel, the merchant turned to the owners of these lands, Talpa nobles, who took part in the construction.

In 1768, the Church of John the Theologian was built and the Khreshchatyk Men's Monastery was founded. In 1786, it was closed by the Austrian authorities, and the church was turned into a parish church. In Soviet times, the monastery buildings were used as a tourist base. The monastery was restored in 1991.
