Dormition Church, Eastern Orthodox church in Old Town, Lviv, Ukraine.
The Dormition Church rises 66 meters with white limestone walls and three stories topped by Renaissance-style cupolas near Ruska Street.
Construction of the current stone structure began in 1591 following multiple wooden predecessors that burned, with completion achieved through Orthodox Brotherhood funding in 1629.
The church represents the endurance of Ukrainian Orthodox traditions in Lviv, with regular services continuing despite centuries of political changes.
Visitors can access the church daily through the main entrance on Ruska Street, with extended hours during religious celebrations and festivals.
The adjacent Korniakt Tower, funded by Greek merchant Constantine Corniaktos, merges Eastern and Western architectural elements into the church complex.
