Church of St. Onuphrius of the Basilian Monastery

From the 13th century, the Lavriv monastery complex attracted the attention of princes, church and political figures, scholars, artists, which turned it into a recognized center of spirituality, culture and education in Ukraine. The monastery was a necropolis of spiritual and secular dignitaries, supporters of the cult of St. Onuphrius. According to legend, the chronicled burials of Lev Danylovych and the founder of the Woyshelka-Lavra monastery were located here.

Researchers are particularly interested in architectural and archeological questioning issues when studying the beginnings of the monastery complex. The oldest building of the Lavriv ensemble is the church of St. Onuphrius - the only preserved monastery church of the 13th century in Galicia. Not far away, on Svyatoivanivskyi Hill, traces of an ancient Kyivan Rus fortified settlement have survived, and the chapel of John the Baptist stood until recently.

In the narthex of the Church of St. Onuphrius, notable artistic monuments have been preserved: late medieval frescoes of the first half of the 16th century, fragments of the baroque iconostasis and side altars, carvings by Andriy Koverko, icons by Teofil Kopystynskyi and Karlo Zvirynskyi.
