Saint Lazarus Church in Lviv

Saint Lazarus Church features a single nave, rectangular apse, and two three-tiered towers with pointed Gothic windows and tented tops.

Built in 1634 under architect Ambroży Przychylny, the church complex included hospital buildings situated beyond the city fortifications south of Lviv center.

Inside the church walls, paintings from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries demonstrate the artistic development of religious art in Lviv.

Located at 27 Kopernyka Street, the church sits on Kalicha Mountain slopes, enclosed by walls separating it from neighboring streets.

The symmetrical placement of two-story hospital buildings on both north and south sides of the church reflects its initial medical purpose.
