Rava-Ruska by SkeironSkeiron
Rava-Ruska is a small cozy ancient town.
In Western Ukraine, Rava-Ruska is one of the oldest cities, founded in 1455.
Over the next five centuries, the city gained more and more importance, being part of the Rzeczpospolita, the Habsburg Empire, the WUPR, Poland, and the USSR.
Today the main part of the town belongs to the post-war period because there were constant battles on the territory of the city and near it in different periods.
In July 2022, the Skeiron team archived 2 monuments in Rava-Ruska in cooperation with Instytut Polonika.

In the interior of the church there are traces of wall paintings of the XIX century, fragments of wooden altars. Its facade is decorated with painted images of St. Francis and St. Anthony
Later, a two-story monastery of the Franciscan Reformers was added to the church. An inner monastery garden with a well was planted in the U-shaped monastery.
St. Michael's Church and monastery of the Reformers was scanned by the Skeiron team in July 2022 with funding Instytut Polonika. During the work, about 1,100 photos were taken and 110 stations were installed.

After the arrival of Communists, the parish was destroyed - a significant part of the parishioners left, the priests were arrested, the church was turned into a food warehouse.
The church was returned to the Roman Catholic community in 1989. New paintings and altar were made in the 2000s.
St. Joseph's Church was scanned by the Skeiron team in July 2022 with funding Instytut Polonika. During the work, about 1,270 photos were taken and 173 stations were installed.

#SaveUkrainianHeritage
The project is 3D scanning of cultural monuments throughout Ukraine. We create 3D models using laser scanning and photogrammetry technologies. This allows you to record the condition of the monument more accurately and help restore it in case of destruction.
#SaveUkrainianHeritage
In this initiative, we strive to unite the efforts of all those who can contribute to the scan - professionals in this field, conservationists, and appreciators. To do this, we are developing various opportunities to support the initiative.
