Church of Saint George, Lviv

Church of Saint George, Lviv, Eastern Orthodox church in Lviv, Ukraine.

The Church of Saint George is an Orthodox sanctuary in Lviv built in the Byzantine Revival architectural style using brick construction. The building features an ornate main entrance decorated with religious sculptures and carved figures throughout its facade.

Orthodox worship in Lviv depended on private chapels after the Maniava Skete was dissolved in 1785. In 1856 the Bukovinian consistory bought a plot on Franciscan Street (now Tarasa Bobanycha) with two houses, one converted into a chapel. The present church was designed by Gustav Zachs, its cornerstone laid in 1897, and consecrated on 27 October 1901.

Services were held in Church Slavonic and Romanian before 1914, with a second priest serving as chaplain to Orthodox soldiers of the Lviv garrison. After World War I Ukrainians became the majority of parishioners, and from 1937 services were also held in Ukrainian twice a month. The church has belonged to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine since 5 April 2023.

The church stands on Tarasa Bobanycha Street, the former Franciscan Street, west of the old centre. The entrance faces the street; the four-tier iconostasis and the mosaic of Christ above the main door are inside and above the portal. Services follow the Orthodox calendar, so check times before visiting.

The four-tier iconostasis was made in Vienna in 1901 by carver Karl Wörmund and painter Friedrich von Schiller. Above the main entrance, a mosaic was planned to show Saint George, but the space was too small, so Christ Pantocrator blessing was depicted instead. Seven bells cast by Karl Schwabe are all dated 1898.
