Dormition Church

The Dormition Church and The Kornyakt Tower Those two buildings you see are the Dormition Church and the Kornyakt Tower. The church bears many different historical names: the Church of the Assumption, Rus Church or even Wallachian Church. The most memorable part of the building is the bell tower in the style of the Italian Neo-Renaissance, named after the merchant Constantine Kornyakt. An influential religious organization Lviv Stauropegion Brotherhood was founded and associated with the church. Here the founder of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy – Petro Mohyla, started his career.
