Resurrection Cathedral, Ivano-Frankivsk
A baroque cathedral of 1753–1763 — the former Jesuit church.
The first Jesuit church opened here in 1729, but in 1752 it was dismantled; the new church in the Austro-Bavarian baroque style was built in 1753–1763 to a design by the military engineer Christian Dalke (the parish website also names the architect Yu. Karshitskyi). After the order was banned in 1773, the church was used in turn by gymnasium students and the Greek Catholic community, and in 1849 the Austrian government handed it over to the Ukrainians. In 1885, with the founding of the Stanyslaviv Greek Catholic Eparchy, the former Roman Catholic church became the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ. In 1946, after the liquidation of the UGCC, the church passed to the russian Orthodox Church; on 28 January 1990 it was returned to the UGCC as a cathedral, and in 2011 it became a metropolitan cathedral. The two-towered facade with tent-shaped tops stands on Sheptytsky Square; the church itself is a three-nave brick basilica with a five-tier iconostasis of 1901.
A working cathedral: view quietly during services; according to the UGCC church map (undated), it is open daily 7:30–19:00.
