Tserkva Vozdvyzhenyya Chesnoho Khresta

The church is beautiful and has a rich history but the restoration was awful! It can be seen on the facade where there is a lot of unnecessary brick, some coverings over the doors are incomprehensible, tile and in general one of the few architectural monuments in Burshtyn does not look like this. Around the temple was a cemetery measuring 49 x 28.7 m, on which, behind a cesarean script, banned several years before. burial. A brief description of the Greek Catholic building of that time was made on August 8, 1789 by one of its visitors. He noted: "The church under the title of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross is built of wood and built on the foundations under a Gont roof." The following mention of the shrine is given by the Franciscan metric of the town in 1820. The parish church at the time of this metric, as in 1787, was located between the palace and the residence of the parish priest, and the cemetery near it was the same size (49 x 28.7 m). and 32 years ago. It has long been believed that the third, that is, the modern Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, was built in 1802. During the reconstruction of the church in the summer of 2002, he finally revealed his greatest mystery, which no one had ever guessed. During this reconstruction, it was planned to replace the top of the tower with a bulbous tower. After the ancient top of the tower was lowered by a crane to the ground, it had to be dismantled. At removal of a covering of a makovka the masters found the sealed bottle with a strange shape which was tied on three sides by laces to the wooden frame of the makovka. In the middle of the bottle was a note measuring 18 x 11.5 cm with the text made on the front side in Polish and on the back - in Latin. The inscription reads: "In the year 1824 the Ignatius the Ignatius of the Count is clear Treasure Hunt Subcommittee of His Imperial Apostolic Majesty the Highest Falconer of the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria Commander of the Warrant Grandfather of the Burshtynsky Key Properties This church is entirely new together with the tower here he was out.
