Description:
Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord, Boryslav, Dorohobych district
Abstract:

The Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord in Boryslav-Tustanovychi was built in 1907-1908 by architect-engineer Melnychuk and the efforts of the parish priest Fr. Ivan Dashkevich. It is a one-story cross-shaped building with architectural decoration of the facades in the Neo-Romanesque style.

The temple is perceived as an indivisible aesthetic organism, since the interior was decorated according to a stylistically coherent artistic program of 1909. The church's furnishings (iconostasis, pulpit, High Seat, and side altars) were carved by Lviv master Andriy Sabaray. The iconostasis was painted by the outstanding Ukrainian artist Antin Monastyrsky. At the same time, the walls of the church were being decorated. The image of the Equal-to-the-Apostles Volodymyr and Olha, the Baptists of Ukraine, became a kind of marker of national identity in the church's polychrome.
