Church of St. Olha and Elizabeth, Lviv

The Church of St. Olha and Elizabeth in Lviv was originally built as the Roman Catholic Church of St. Elizabeth and today serves as the Greek Catholic Church of Sts. Olha and Elizabeth. The church was built in the years 1903-1911. It was designed by architects and engineers from the Lviv Polytechnic, in the neo-Gothic style, similar to that of the Votive Church in Vienna. St. Elisabeth's was placed on a hill which is the watershed of the Baltic and Black Sea. Its facade is flanked by two tall towers and an 85 meter belfry on the north side with imposing spires, and it was envisioned as Lviv's first landmark to great visitors arriving in the city by train.
