Object description

The Church of Sts. Peter and Paul in Komarno is pictured. The original brick church, built in 1846, was destroyed during the First World War. Architects Oleksandr Lushpynskyi (1923) and Yakiv Rudnytskyi (1925) designed its reconstruction and extension, but the projects were never implemented. Yevhen Nahirnyi carried out the reconstruction between 1925 and 1927. Two semicircular chapels were added to the single nave building, a dome was built over the central cross, and the building was decorated in the Art Deco style. This drawing shows the main facade according to which the building was constructed (Lev Kh., Slobodian V., Filevych N. 100 Churches of the Nahirnyi family. Part Two: Churches of Yevhen Nahirnyi. Lviv, 2015. P. 37).
