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.
