Object description
The drawing shows a longitudinal section of a large brick church for the town of Turka, Lviv oblast, which was never built. The church was designed in 1927; most drawings were made in 1934. The building is based on a square plan with a semicircular apse and eight columns supporting a large central dome in the interior. At the corners of the building are four more towers crowned with bell-shaped domes. On three sides of the building, between the towers, there are arcade porches with low columns. There are two versions of the building, which differ in decoration. In this version, the cupolas have a more complex shape, and the tholobates are decorated with semi-columns (Lev Kh., Slobodian V., Filevych N. 100 Churches of the Nahirnyi family. Part Two: Churches of Yevhen Nahirnyi. Lviv, 2015. P. 128).
