Pidhora Monastery-Fortress of Saint Basil the Great

Temple , Architecture

The monastery is located on the southern outskirts of Terebovlia, on a high hill in the suburb of Pidhora. Known since the 17th century.

The defensive monastery of the Basilian order was surrounded by a stone wall with four corner towers, three of which have been preserved. There was also a three-tiered tower over the gate. Adjacent to the entrance gate is a one-story monastery building with a church attached to it.

The Pidhora monastery ceased to exist in 1789. The monastery church was used as a parish church for some time. During the First World War, the church was destroyed, and the monastery complex has been deteriorating ever since.

However, in 1993, the parishioners of the villages of Zelenche and Pidhora under the guidance of priest Yaroslav Strilka started the first Greek Catholic services in the former church of the Basilian Fathers, and in 1999 they restored the Church of the Nativity of John the Baptist (16th century).
