Chapel of Kampian family, Renaissance chapel in Lviv, Ukraine.
The Chapel of Kampian family is a Renaissance-style chapel in Lviv with carefully crafted interior spaces. Black marble altars and red marble sculptures of Saints Peter and Paul dominate the interior, while stone medallions above the arcades add decorative details throughout.
The chapel was built in the late 16th century by Paolo Romano to replace an earlier structure. It functioned as a burial place and monument to the Kampian family's prominence in the city.
The chapel served as a family sanctuary where the Kampian lineage expressed their status and faith. It remains a place where visitors sense the private devotion of a prominent merchant family.
The chapel can be visited through organized tours that explain its Renaissance architecture and showcase the marble works. It is best to check in advance when tours are available, as access is limited.
A remarkable history surrounds the chapel: around 1600, a member of the Kampian family bequeathed funds for interest-free loans to townspeople. The money was meant to be stored in the chapel itself, showing how the family connected wealth with community support.
