Church of Transfiguration, Lviv

The Church of the Transfiguration (Ukrainian: Преображенська церква, Preobrazhenska tserkva, or more formally Церква Преображення Господа Нашого Ісуса Христа, Tserkva preobrazhennia Hospoda Nashoho Isusa Khrysta) in Lviv, Ukraine, is located in the city's Old Town, just north of the market square.

It was originally built as the Roman Catholic church of the Holy Trinity of the Trinitarian Order, between 1703 and 1731,[1] in the style of French classicism but with a Baroque interior.

In 1783, the monastery was abolished by the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II and the church was used as a library of the Lviv University, until it was destroyed by Austrian artillery during the Spring of Nations in 1848.

The church contains sculptures and paintings by Kornylo Ustiyanovych, Tadeusz Popiel, Tomasz Kopystynski and Leonard Marconi.

[5] In 1896–1898, stained-glass windows of Ruthenian saints were made by a firm in Innsbruck, according to sketches by Anton Pylychowski.
