St. Paraskeva Church, Eastern Orthodox church in Lviv, Ukraine

The single-nave sandstone church features thick walls, small windows, and an octagonal apse with a high square tower topped by a domed helmet.

Built in the 13th century, the church underwent reconstruction after a fire in 1623, with funding from Moldavian Voevod Vasile Lupu completed in 1644.

The architectural design combines elements of Eastern Orthodox tradition with Romanesque and Renaissance influences, visible in the tower's blind arcade of arches.

Located at Khmelnytsky 77 B in Lviv, the church maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors interested in historical religious architecture.

The building includes defensive features such as loopholes in the tower's upper stories and displays the Moldavian coat of arms with an aurochs head.
