Vul. Horodotska, 032 – st. Anne's church

ID: 198

Former Roman Catholic St. Anne church was built on a plot of land that was located a long distance from the old city walls to the northwest of the historical center of the city. The church is located at the intersection of the current Horodotska and Shevchenka streets. A building housing what used to be monastery chambers is built onto the church’s southern side. The church was built in 1673 with reconstruction taking place in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; the dome of the tower was added in 1927 (by the architect Bronisław Wiktor). The building is constructed on the site of an older church that dates back to 1505.

Architecture

The plastered stone and brick building represents a type of single nave church with the altar directed to the west. It has an octagonal three-tier tower over the façade that is crowned with a dome. The church has a gable roof with a spire and a vaulted ceiling. A presbytery adorned with pilasters has been added in front of the tower. The semicircular window openings are trimmed with profiled moldings.

After the restoration work done in 1997, the interior of St. Anne's Church was newly decorated.
