Object description

The drawing shows the side facade of the church project for the village of Tustoholovy. It is a single-nave brick building with side chapels and sacristies, a facetted abbey, and three domes similar to those of wooden folk churches. The church is decorated in the Art Deco style with the influence of Baroque architecture. Construction began in the 1930s, but the church was not completed until 1939 (Lev Kh., Slobodian V., Filevych N. 100 Churches of the Nahirnyi family. Part Two: Churches of Yevhen Nahirnyi. Lviv, 2015. P. 128).
