Church of the Claris

Church of the Claris
Ukraine, Lviv
The Church of the Clares is an architectural monument in Lviv, located on Mytna Square.

The church was built in 1607. Documentary information about the author of the building has not been preserved. Based on the analysis of architectural forms and decoration of the facade, the researchers consider it to be the work of P. Roman.

The building acquired its current appearance in 1938-1939, after the restoration, which was led by the architect Jan Lobos; then the tower was also completed. The church is three-aisled, with a rectangular apse and a high tower on the façade. The Doric frieze and pilasters give a severe appearance to the northern facade.

Austrian Emperor Joseph II confiscated the church and monastery; later the Austrian government housed a military hospital. In the interwar period, the Polish authorities used the monastery and the church for the same purposes.

In Soviet times, the building was transferred to the Lviv Art Gallery as an exhibition hall of contemporary art.
