St. Lawrence's Church, Renaissance church in Zhovkva, Ukraine.
The brick church features detailed embellishments throughout its structure, including a distinctive portal and an ornate frieze displaying military imagery and heraldic symbols.
Built between 1606 and 1618, the church served as a pantheon for Polish commander Stanisław Żółkiewski and displays architectural influences from Italian Mannerist architects.
The church exhibits numerous artistic elements, including statues by Andreas Schlüter and a coffered dome that demonstrates the Renaissance architectural preferences of the period.
The church remains open for religious services and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its architectural features and historical significance within Zhovkva's medieval cityscape.
A former defensive tower adjacent to the church now functions as a bell tower, gaining recognition for its noticeable eastward inclination.
