Dormition Church

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:08:47

This Ukrainian Orthodox church is easily distinguished by the 65m-high, triple-tiered Kornyakt bell tower rising beside it. The tower was named after its Greek benefactor, a merchant who was also the original owner of Kornyakt House on pl Rynok. It’s well worth going inside to see the beautifully gilt interior of the church, accessible through the gate to the right of the tower. Attached to the church is the diminutive Three Saints Chapel with its three, highly ornate minicupolas.
