A monument of architecture of local importance (security number 187 M)
At the end of the XVII century, a new church was built on the Dubno suburb instead of the Church of St. Paraskeva Piatnytsia. The site is opposite to the ancient Nunnery of the Reformates on a somewhat lower hill. The temple was wooden and often destroyed.
The modern construction of the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross was erected in 1887-1889 on the site of an ancient bicentennial church in the Volyn diocesan style, formed in the XIX century and approved by the Synod.
Buildings were erected according to a typical project of wood, painted in a sky blue or blue color, using the characteristic decor of the exterior. Initially, there was a wooden bell tower next to the Church, and the temple complex itself was attributed to St. Nicholas’s Cathedral.
The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross was the only one of the wooden structures in Kremenets that survived the fire of 1942, which destroyed the central buildings in our town. In Soviet times it was used as a storage facility. In the 1990s the Temple began to be used for its intended purpose. It was the first temple of Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church which started work in our town.
The church is decorated with a multi-tiered iconostasis, which was performed by the local carver Volodymyr Chumakevych.
