The Cathedral of Protection of the Mother of God is one of the most famous church in Ivano Frankivsk. It has got other names: The Armenian church or The Blue church. It belongs to the autocephalous Orthodox church. This building is placed in the centre of the town, near the square of Rynok.
From the moment of the was foundation of Stanislaviv the Armenions had a great infurunce of the life of the small town. So, in 1663-1664 they built their first wooden church.
Soon the miraculous icon appeared, there Virgin Maria was pictured on it. A lot of people became free of their diseases (epilepsy, blendnes, arthritis and many others) by means of the icon. On the 22-nd of August Virgin Maris "cried real tears". After this wonder the people decided to build a new stone church.
A lot of people of different nation lived in ancient Stanislaviv. One of them were Armenians.After the Second World War the Armenians leaved for Poland. They took the miraculous icon whith them. Nowadays only the copy of the original icon hangs on one of the walls of the cathedral. The new church was built in a style of baroque. The wonderful wall paintings were made by the painter Yan Soletskii, and the creater sculptures was Matvii Poleyovskii.
The sparkling golden cupolas of the cathedral can be outside the town. You can always come in to this church and pray for help to our Father God.

In 1870 there was formed Town Square named after Adam Mickiewicz, which still retained its original name. In 1891 a theatre was built on that square. It was constructed by Juzef Lapinsky - the local railway engineer - in magnificent architectural style. He became a winner of the theatre building competition which was held by Stefan Monuschko Music Sociaty's request. This society had great influence on Ukrainian history and culture. At that time that building was designed as theatre and it was adornment of former Stanislav. And grateful citizens presented a gold ring to the engineer Lapynsky.



In 1928 the audience enthusiastically listened to the songs and ballads song by brilliant Solomia Khrushelnitska – the opera singer with worldwide reputation.  
In that theatre thankful viewers could see legendary Zankovetskaya in the play «Naimychka».
During The First World War building was damaged. The full theatre reconstruction was held by Stanislav`s architecture Stanislav Trely in the end of 1920-ies. In 1929 the reconstruction was ended. Unfortunately, it failed - canopy and portico disappeared, all the windows became square, all the adornment vanished, but the massive balcony appeared instead. That look of building we can see till these days.

 City lake of Ivano-Frankivsk
In these places, in the middle of the 17th century the village was swamped. The city also Stanislaviv (now Ivano-Frankivsk ) was laid here in 1662 Galician elder Andrzej Potocki. A land where there was a village, and has not lost its former purpose - there has long been hunted and rested a noble Polish gentry. Here the mayor A. Potocki founded menagerie. It is in this area during the time of Stalin were dug ponds, Gateway to the river Bistrica-Solotvynska. In 1955, the floodgates opened intentionally, gushing water that has captivated all of these artificial ponds - that turned out so-called Stanislavsky Sea, which has become a favorite area for the citizens and guests of the city. It is a very picturesque place. Works boat station - you can take a boat rental. Well here in the summer. But there is a special charm in this area and in the spring and fall. A Bridge of Love - the most romantic and symbolic territory in Lake City, as they call it an artificial sea. Traditionally come here to declare his love, photographed. More What is the best accessible to the Miske Lake, Ivano-Frankivsk photographed

Today in Ivano-Frankivsk has six monuments of national importance. One of them - the Cathedral of the Holy Resurrection, the people - Cathedral. I remember the temple?
 
Generous founders

The Chair was not in this place first. First there was the old Potocki Palace. Small, wooden. In the early 1680's, Potocki moved to the new palace, which has been preserved to this day. Well, almost preserved. And in place of the old formed a wasteland.
 
In 1715, the invitation to Stanislav Joseph Potocki arrives Jesuit Tomas Zalensky, intending to build a Jesuit church and school - college (then famous Stanislaviv Academy ceased to exist, unable to endure hardship Northern War).
 
So, April 21, 1716 stream-cue gives Jesuits land (60x40 elbow) on the site of an ancient palace. Soon began the structure of the church. The architect is unknown, but there is evidence that Jesuit main city asked the Russian governor Yablonovska to that gave him his architect Jakob Pertiho street. However, no matter who was the architect, he made many mistakes, because that in 20 years the whole building was covered with cracks and almost collapsed.
 
Interesting is the fact that when in 1720 the pit dug under the basement, they found a treasure of 14 000 PLN. Half of Joseph Potocki took it and gave the rest to the structure.
 
But these were not the only financial investment. Generous sponsors were Potocki wife - Victoria Lishchynsky, her brother Casimir, many other nobles and shlyahtyanok. In addition, the Jesuits themselves had Tysmenychanamy village, there were good profits, which also went to the construction of the church.
 
We built fast enough. Already in 1729 (the day of St. Victoria) conducted the first in the church service, although it is fully completed next year. It was called the Church of the Holy Spirit and the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and had seven chapels. Inside was a much decorated. Owner's wife Victoria gave the main altar of the church and chapel of St. Kostka ozdobyla. To do this it had to sell his 1,000 ducats of favorite canaries. Her daughter Sofia presented images of Our Lady of Czestochowa and St. Francis Xavier, son Stanislaw - the image and the altar of Ignatius of Loyola (founder of the Jesuit order) and brother Casimir - altar of St. Francis Borghese. These altar sculptures were made of wood Tyrolean master Josef shuffle.
 
When Kostka

In the underground church buried Jesuit fathers, but soon they were joined by other "guests." In 1730, came to the wife's brother Stanislav owner - Lviv Castellan Casimir Lishchynsky. There he fell ill and died. Solemn funeral took place on January 26, 1731 in church. The ceremony was attended by his sister Victoria, who quietly, almost to himself, said, "bury me here." Hearing this, her son Stanislav began to protest, "Mom, you're still young enough and healthy." And insisted: "By the blessing of mother I beg you let me, at my holy Kostkoy, I laid there after death."
 
Her words proved prophetic. On 1 May next year Victoria Potocki died at his country The Palace Belvedere, with only 53 years. Most generous church founder laid in the crypt under the altar of St. Stanislaus Kostka.
 
In 1739, the walls of the city came a detachment of Russian troops, which led the Moldovan Prince Cantemir. Before they are burned Angles, Gorodenka and Tysmenytsia seemed nothing to prevent them from Stanislav repeat it. Panic broke out in the city as garrison was small, and the Crown army was located right on the border with Moldova. Rumors of surrender. The only people who did not succumb to panic, were Jesuits. They held a service for saving the city from the enemy. Soon, similar services were held in other churches Stanislav and inspired residents rushed to the wall and give a fitting rebuff to the enemy.
 
The architect Stanislav

In 1751 Joseph Potocki died. Before the burial, his son Hetman Stanislaw, an experienced builder eye, noticed the numerous cracks in the walls of the church. The reason for the dramatic errors in the construction engineering, namely weak foundation. The cracks grew exponentially, it became clear that the church will soon collapse. Stanislav ordered to evacuate the altar and interior of the church, and the floor lay a thick layer of straw to collapse at the ceiling and parquet save valuable tomb in the basement (because there were buried his mother and uncle).
 
From February 1752 to May 1753 the first church was dismantled immediately deepened the pit and laid the bigger, stronger foundation. Potocki personally made drawings of buildings and annually allocated for the construction of six thousand PLN and 50,000 bricks. But the founder did not wait for completion. The church was completed in 1763 when Stanislav has died. Although the final stages of labor led the architect Hristian Dalke, to thank for this wonderful baroque building, we have just Stanislaw Potocki.
 
Revived church called Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Aloysius Gonzaga. In 1764 the owner of the city Kossakovskaya Catherine gave 4,000 zlotys a new altar of St. Francis Xavier.

Because of this soon in vaults and walls cracked reappear, 1828 the church was closed, turning it into a military warehouse. This situation lasted until 1835-th, when the efforts of the governor of Galicia Prince Ferdinand d'Este began overhaul. For three years the church has been completely renovated and newly whitewashed.
 
In 1838 began service rule, which prevailed himnazialna youth and students. From 1839 until the church began to let the Greek-Catholic community of the city for the celebration of their worship. A 21 October 1849 in the history of the church begins a new era - the imperial order, he finally goes to the Greek Catholic community. The new owners changed the name and now the building was called as the Church of the Resurrection. In 1864, the church made the king's gate.

The exact date of the church's founding is not known. It is known that when the fortress of Stanislawow was erected together with it, Andrzej Potocki started to build out wood the Catholic parish church as well. The pastor and chaplain Wojcech Bialachewski helped him as the old friend. The newly erected church was named after the Virgin Mary, Saint Andrew, Saint Stanislaus, and Saint Anna. On June 14, 1669 Andrzej Potocki was able to acquire the status of collegiate for the church. It was consecrated by Archbishop Jan Tarnowski. Here was opened a campus of the Jagiellonian University (Kraków).


Soon after that sometime in the 1670s Andrzej Potocki financed redesign of the wooden church into limestone by designs of Francua Korassini and Karlo Benoe. In 1703 the redesigned temple was reconsecrated by Archbishop Konstanty Zelinski. In 1737 Jozef Potocki continued to improve the church. The bell assembly next to the former building of a church was erected in 1774. During 1782-1799 the status of the church was lowered by the Austrian authorities to a parish church. In the second half of the 19th century the building required some renovations and the current church pastor Father Joan Krasowski hired Erazm-Rudolf Fabianski to conduct the restoration works. All that was destroyed during the fire in 1882 and was again restored only ten years later in 1892. Since that time in the church was established a music school as well.

With establishment of the Soviet power in the region the church as most other religious buildings went into decline. The anticipated promotion of the church to cathedral in December 1939 failed and soon most of the Latin Rite Catholics who mostly were the Polish nationals left the city with the end of World War II. In 1962 the temple was closed down and the next year the bell assembly was destroyed. In 1965 the building was passed in possession to the Institute of Oil and Gaz as a geological museum. On May 18, 1980 after a substantial restoration works in the building was opened an exposition of the Regional Art Museum.

Currently the building is the only church structure in the city that is used for other than religious purposes.
