Church of St. Nicholas

ooh Bogdan Khmelnitsky, 28, Lviv, Ukraine.

Description:

Nikolaev Church is one of the oldest architectural monuments in Lviv. It is located under the mountain "Budelnitsa" on the Volyn tract in the ancient roundabout city.

The church was founded in the XIII century and served as a tomb of Galician princes. In 1544, the Nikolaev Church Brotherhood was established here, it provided a shelter for the poor and a school. Due to numerous fires, the foundation and lower part of the walls have been preserved from the church.

The church is cross-shaped in plan, which consists of the main square nave with an elongated semicircular apse, from the west to which a rectangular vestibule adjoins, from the north and south - side chapels with semicircular apses.

The simple and formidable appearance of the temple makes it a very interesting architectural monument.
