Kryvka Church, Wooden church in Shevchenkivskyi Hay, Lviv, Ukraine

The three-steepled Saint Nicholas Church features traditional wooden shingles and follows the Boyko architectural style with a central tower rising above two smaller ones.

The church, constructed in 1763 by Boiko carpenters in Kryvka village, was moved to the Lviv Museum of Folk Architecture in 1930 as its first exhibited structure.

The interior divides into three distinct chambers, with the central nave serving as the main worship space according to Eastern Christian traditions.

The wooden church stands within the Lviv Museum of Folk Architecture and Rural Life, which visitors can reach by taking a tram from Lviv city center.

During World War I, the church structure sustained damage when artillery fire penetrated the upper gallery, leaving marks that remain visible today.
