St. Lawrence's Church, Zhovkva

The Collegiate Church of St. Lawrence (Ukrainian: Костел святого Лаврентія у Жовкві; Polish: kolegiata św.

The building's design is attributed to a team of Italian Mannerist architects active in Lviv in the early 17th century.

The hexagonal bell tower, originally part of Zhovkva's fortifications, leans somewhat to the east.

In the 17th century, the walls of the church were decorated with pictorial representations of Żółkiewski's and Sobieski's battles executed by Szymon Boguszowicz and Martin Altamonte, among others.
