A Neo-Gothic church, noted for its high towers and pointed spires, is one of  Lviv's trademarks. It  was designed by architect Teodor Talowski. Well-known architects, sculptors and painters took part in the construction of this church. According to the resolution of the Lviv regional executive committee number 130 dated 26 February 1980, the church was entered into the local register of monuments under protection number 146. In 1991 the church was handed over to the local Greek Catholic community.

The building, which is now occupied by the Maria Zankovetska Theater, was built in 1837–1842 as the theater of count Stanisław Skarbek's foundation. The project of the building was designed by Ludwig Pichl, a Viennese architect, its construction was managed by the Lviv city architect, Johann Salzmann. Stylistically, the building is a typical example of the late Neoclassicism in the version of the Viennese school of architecture.
