Object description

The drawing shows a project for a stone church that was never built. The drawing shows the main facade of the church. According to the plan, the building is close to a Greek cross, with a dome over the central cross (octagon on a quadrangle), two side chapels, and two sacristies in the transepts. The enlarged altar has a semicircular shape with a small gallery behind the columns. It is decorated in the Art Deco style typical of the 1920s (Lev Kh., Slobodian V., Filevych N. 100 Churches of the Nahirnyi family. Part Two: Churches of Yevhen Nahirnyi. Lviv, 2015. P. 126).
