    Vul. Henerala Chuprynky, 70 – church of St. Clement (former Church of St. Mary of the Perpetual Assistance and St. Joseph) ID: 1486

    The former Church of St. Mary of the Perpetual Assistance and St. Joseph — now the Church of St. Clement (1895). Architects: Franz Statz, Tadeusz Münnich, and others. It originally belonged to the Order of Discalced Carmelite nuns. The church is a single-nave structure featuring a transept and a polygonal apse oriented to the north. The south façade is composed of a portal and a pointed-arch window with tracery, topped by a triangular gable. Buttresses line the perimeter of the red-brick façades, and the building is covered by a gable roof. The monastery wing is attached to the west side, while a bell tower stands in the corner between the transept and the choir wall. Architectural style: Neogothic. Today, the church functions as a parish of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC).
