The temple of the XIV century, located in the historical part of Lviv. It is one of the oldest religious buildings in the city. The cathedral was built on the site of an Armenian church of the XII century at the expense of merchants Fanos and Jacob. At the beginning of the 20th century, the building was restored. In 2000, the church was transferred to the Armenian Apostolic Church, although initially it belonged to the Armenian Catholic branch. The fact is that by the time the transfer of the Armenian Catholics in Lviv, there were almost no.

Some frescoes date back to XIV century and you might want to pay a visit for the Easter service, it's by far the most beautiful among all Lviv's cathedrals

Went there today during the morning service. It was lovely to hear Armenian church singing and feel the atmosphere of home. Inside the church looks very interesting and unique for Armenian church style. Not the typical one sees in Armenia.
