Object description

Perspective view of the projected church on Bohdanivka Street in Lviv (part of the present-day Horodotska Street beyond the intersection with Lubinska and Kulparkivska streets). Yevhen Nahirnyi designed the new large church in the 1930s. The building was to be located next to the wooden chapel of St. Andrew and St. Volodymyr, built in the first years after the First World War. The square neo-Byzantine building was to be symmetrical, with five domes surrounded by arcades. The architect proposed several project versions, differing in proportions, window shapes, and decorative elements.

Inscriptions

In the upper right corner there is a simple pencil inscription: "Lviv (Bohdanivka) 1939".
