Church of Transfiguration
The church was originally built between 1703 and 1731. Back then, it was used as a Roman Catholic church of the Holy Trinity of the Trinitarian Order. The style of the building was French classicism with a Baroque interior. The monastery was abolished by the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II in 1783, after which the church was used as a library of the Lviv University. In 1848, the building was destroyed by Austrian artillery during the Spring of Nations. It was the Greek Catholic Church that rebuilt the church. Most of the original design was kept, but the apse was added to the short presbytery, and domes that now dominate the facade were built on the church towers. The interior needed to undergo much deeper changes to suit the needs of Eastern Rite liturgy.
