General information about Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (Ternopil)

The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (Nadstavna) is the oldest church in Ternopil.

It was built by the founder of the city, crown hetman Jan Tarnovsky, on the site of the ancient Rus temple of the times of King Danylo Halytskyi. The church was located next to the western (Lvivsky) gate of Ternopil above the pond, which is why it received the second name "Nadstavna" or "Church above the pond".

In 1627, the bell tower was completed. Old Rus defensive architectural traditions are used. In 1959, the Exaltation Church was restored.

Belongs to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.

Церква Воздвиження Чесного Хреста (Воздвиженська, Надставна) - найдавніший храм Тернополя.

Збудована засновником міста, коронним гетьманом Яном Тарновським, на місці давньоруського храму часів короля Данила Галицького. Церква розташовувалась поряд із західними (Львівськими) воротами Тернополя над ставком, за що й отримала другу назву "Надставна" або "Церква над ставком".

В 1627 році добудовано дзвіницю. Використані давньоруські оборонні архітектурні традиції. В 1959 році Воздвиженська церква була відреставрована.
