St. Lawrence's Church, Renaissance church in Zhovkva, Ukraine.

St. Lawrence's Church is a brick church on Vicheva Square in Zhovkva, built as a Latin cross with a two-bay nave, square transept arms and a two-bay presbytery ending in a three-sided apse. A white-stone Renaissance portal shows the apostles Peter and Paul, St. Lawrence and St. Stanislaus, and the dome carries a sculpted frieze with figures of Archangel Michael on the facade.

The church was built between 1606 and 1618 and served as a burial place for Polish commander Stanisław Żółkiewski. Its architecture shows influences from Italian Mannerist builders who shaped its design.

The church holds the tombs of the Żółkiewski, Daniłowicz and Sobieski families, including Jakub Sobieski, father of King Jan III Sobieski, which earned it the name "Little Wawel". In 1680 Jan III received here the Order of the Holy Spirit from Louis XIV, and Queen Maria Kazimiera was given the Golden Rose by Pope Innocent XI. The main portal shows the apostles Peter and Paul, Saint Lawrence and Saint Stanislaus.

The church stands on Vicheva Square opposite Zhovkva Castle, on a terrace raised by Turkish captives. The hexagonal bell tower leans slightly east and is a separate heritage monument. The main entrance is framed by a carved white-stone portal showing the apostles Peter and Paul, Saint Lawrence and Saint Stanislaus.

Next to the church stands a former defensive tower now serving as a bell tower, tilted noticeably toward the east. This structure shows a practical transformation that connects past and present use.
