Church of St. Olha and Elizabeth, Gothic Revival church near central railway station, Lviv, Ukraine
The red brick church features two symmetrical towers with pointed spires, reaching a height of 85 meters on the north side and 71 meters on the south side.
Construction began in 1903 under Archbishop Jozef Bilczewski's direction, with architect Teodor Talowski completing the structure in 1911 for railway workers and western suburb residents.
The building transformed from a Roman Catholic church to a Ukrainian Greek Catholic sanctuary in 1991, marking the revival of religious freedom after Soviet rule.
Visitors can access the north tower for panoramic views of Lviv, with the church located between the main railway station and the historic Old Town district.
The church stands on a natural watershed divide, with rainwater from one side flowing to the Baltic Sea and from the other side to the Black Sea.
