One in four churches in Galicia was built according to his design - more than 200 churches in total. He based his first church in the village of Malyi Yarychiv in the Lviv region on the main Byzantine church, Hagia Sophia in Istanbul.

Lev Levynskyi

The main specialization of Lev Levynskyi and his association was the design of churches. The architect was engaged in this business while still working in Ivan Levynskyi's bureau. Since then, one of his projects, realized in 1910 in the village of Kalna (now Kalush district), has been known. He had a professional approach to the artistic side of design: when building churches in different parts of Galicia, he used different schemes in each case, depending on local traditions. At the same time, there are elements that are not typical of Galician church construction, probably borrowed from the architecture of Russian churches. There are currently more than 50 church projects created by Levynskyi, of which 12 have not been realized. Some of them are located on the territory of present-day Poland.

Lev Levynskyi, in addition to building new churches, was engaged in their restoration. In particular, he restored several churches in the Brid region designed by architect Vasyl Nahirny that had been damaged during the First World War. In 1926, he restored the bell tower of the Church of the Holy Spirit in Lviv. In the same year, he completed a project to restore the church in Yazlivka. At the request of the committee for the restoration of the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Krylos, he made two projects that recreated the church at different stages of its existence. In 1925, he published an article on the restoration of the church in the journal Technical News, which contained a historical overview and justification of the restoration projects[5]. However, despite their high professionalism, the projects were not accepted.

Among his teachers was, in particular, Ivan Levynskyi. Between 1904 and 1919, he worked at Levynskyi's firm. He was the author or co-author of many of the buildings constructed by the firm. In many cases, the degree of participation in a particular project is problematic to establish. He took an active part in the search for a Ukrainian style in architecture, similar to other national styles that were emerging in Europe at the time. He used the ideas of Otto Wagner in his architecture. The style of Lushpynsky's buildings with elements of folk styles is often characterized as "Hutsul Secession." Many buildings are made in the spirit of Byzantine-Romanesque stylizations. He studied folk wooden construction, sketched samples of Hutsul and Boyko buildings (now kept in the National Museum of Lviv).
