Intervention conservation work on wall polychromies in the oldest part of the Armenian Cathedral in Lviv

Information about the object:
The Armenian Cathedral is one of the oldest and most valuable historic churches of Lviv. Founded by Armenians in the second half of the 14th century, the temple was rebuilt and expanded many times. The present form was given to the church during the expansion of the temple carried out in the first half of the 20th century according to the project of arch. Franciszek Mączyński on the initiative of Archbishop Józef Teodorowicz. The creators of the temple's decoration were, among others, Jozef Mehoffer (mosaics on the dome and in its surroundings) and Jan Henryk Rosen (mural paintings).

After the Second World War, the closed church was used as a warehouse for the Lviv Picture Gallery. Conservation and restoration work in the cathedral has been carried out since 2006.
