The Greek-Catholic Cathedral of Uzhhorodis was built by the Jesuits in 1646 and was intended as a Jesuit college. The church is dedicated to the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. After the Jesuit order was banned in 1773, the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa gave the church to the Greek Catholics. In 1799, an iconostasis corresponding to the Baroque church was added. During the Soviet period, the church was given to the Orthodox Church. The bishop's residence, located next door, was used as a technical school and became very dilapidated over the years. It was not until 1991 that the church and the residence were returned to the ownership of the Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church.

The Greek Catholic Church of the Ascension of the Lord was built from 1905 onwards in the neo-Romanesque style.

At the main entrance, on a marble plaque, are engraved the names of the main founders of the church: Andreas Panas, Dimitrios Rodokanakis, Constantin Sakomanos. The communist regime made several attempts to destroy the church, but it survived thanks to the active resistance of its clergy.

The building is located in the centre of the town.
