General information about Stinka

The village of Stinka on the banks of the Dniester is located 20 kilometers northwest of Buchach.

It has been known since 1453, but the settlement existed as early as the 12th-13th centuries (an ancient Rus settlement and an early Christian cave temple were discovered).

Since 1797, the wooden church of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos has been operating, in 1921 a stone temple was built, and in 1928 the People's House was opened.

The greatest tourist interest is the cave temple, which had cult significance even in pagan times, as evidenced by the mysterious signs on the cave walls.

Село Стінка на березі Дністра розташоване в 20 кілометрах на південний захід від Бучача.

Відоме з 1453 року, проте поселення існувало ще в XII-XIII сторіччях (виявлено давньоруське городище та ранньохристиянський печерний храм).

З 1797 року діяла дерев'яна церква Різдва Пресвятої Богородиці, в 1921 році був збудований кам'яний храм, в 1928 році відкрито Народний дім.

Найбільший туристичний інтерес представляє печерний храм, який мав культове значення ще в язичницькі часи, про що свідчать таємничі знаки на стінах печери.

Cave Temple

Temple , Natural object

The early Christian cave temple near the village of Stinka in Ternopil region belongs to the 12th-13th centuries.

The natural cave of karst origin is located on the left bank of the Dniester at an altitude of 15 meters. On the second level, an artificial room measuring approximately 8 by 9 meters was cut out of the travertine rock. In the center of the eastern wall is an altar with a solar sign in the form of a swastika. Crosses and other Christian and pagan symbols are depicted on the walls.

Probably, the temple existed even in pagan times, and with the advent of Christianity it became a cave monastery.
