General information about Saint Valentine's Church (Kalush)

The Roman Catholic Church of Saint Valentine in Kalush was built in 1841-1845 on the site of the wooden Catholic Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, which has been known since 1464.

The new brick church is made in the Neo-Gothic style. In 1786, a new tower was built. In 1910-1912, a major reconstruction was carried out: side chapels were completed, stairs were built in front of the facade, new main and side altars were made, etc.

From 1954 to 1999, the temple was closed, and a gymnasium was placed in it. For some time he belonged to the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church.

Currently, the church of Saint Valentine in Kalusha is active. In 2008, the last restoration was carried out, which returned the temple to its authentic appearance.
