General information about Basilian Monastery of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross of the Lord (Buchach)

The majestic monastery of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross of the Lord rises on the opposite hill from Buchach Castle, in the Fedir tract.

It was built for the parents of the Basilians, who were invited to the city by Stefan Potoski in the 18th century to found a theological school.

The central building of the complex is the Baroque Church of the Ascension of the Holy Cross with a bell tower (architect Yohan Shiltser). It is adjoined on two sides by the buildings of the cells and the Basilian gymnasium (now the Saint Yosafat Buchach Collegium).

During the Soviet era, the monastery was closed and fell into disrepair, but after 1991, a complete restoration was carried out. All buildings, including the hydroelectric power plant on the Strypa River, have been restored ...

Величний монастир Воздвиження Чесного Хреста Господнього височить на протилежному від Бучацького замку пагорбі, що в урочищі Федір.

Побудований для батьків василіан, яких у XVIII сторіччі запросив до міста Стефан Потоцький для заснування богословської школи.

Центральною спорудою комплексу є барочна Хрестовоздвиженська церква із дзвіницею (архітектор Йоган Шільцер). З двох боків до неї примикають корпуси келій та василіанської гімназії (зараз Бучацький колегіум імені Святого Йосафата).

За радянських часів монастир був закритий та руйнувався, проте після 1991 року проведено повну реставрацію. Усі будівлі, включаючи гідроелектростанцію на річці Стрипа, відновлені та використовуються за призначенням.
