Church of St. Norbert Parish of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross - an ancient Greek Catholic church. Built in 1636-1643 in the Baroque style as the Church of St. Norbert, designed for the Norbert Sisters. After the monasteries were dissolved under Austrian rule, the abandoned Norbertine Church was transferred to the Greek Catholic parish on February 26.1808.
In 1947, the communist government liquidated the existing parish, and after a few years the building passed to the Saletin fathers. In 1998, the Greek Catholic parish rebuilt the church, and the Saletins left it in late 2001. Thanks to the efforts of the Greek Catholic parish, the antique historical iconostasis was reconstructed and restored. It was re-established and consecrated in November 2004 by the Greek Catholic Metropolitan of Przemyś l and Warsaw, Archbishop Jan Martyniak.
The church has two entrances: through the stone portal from Plant (Karol Olszewski Street) and from Vyslna Street (the second one is currently in use). In the middle of 1940 Stepan Bandera married Yaroslava Oparivska in this church.
On the wall of the church there is a memorial sign in memory of the Holodomor of the Ukrainian people. It was established on November 18.2008.
