Holy Cross Cathedral

Holy Cross Cathedral
Carpathians, Uzhhorod
The Holy Cross Cathedral is located near Uzhgorod Castle. It was built in 1644 and belonged to the Jesuit monks. In 1773, after the abolition of the Order, the church was rebuilt in the Baroque style and handed over to the Greek Catholics. The graceful cathedral features artsy decor and beautiful wall paintings. In Soviet times, the temple became Orthodox, and in 1991 it was again returned to the Greek Catholic community.

The main Greek Catholic church of the city was built in 1640-1646. It belonged to the Jesuits, in 1775 it was transferred to the Greek Catholics. Both the appearance and the interiors have changed many times. Now the Baroque church is decorated with a portico with four columns of the Corinthian order and two octagonal clock towers. In 1949, the Soviet authorities transferred the cathedral to the Orthodox faith, and in 1991 it was returned to the Greek Catholics. On the sides of the entrance there are two memorial plaques - to the leader of the national revival of the 18th century, Bishop Andriy Bachynsky and Bishop Teodor Romzhi, who was killed by the NKVD in 1947.
