Description of the Archcathedral Church of Lviv

The text describes the Archcathedral Church in Lviv, the construction of which was initiated by Casimir the Great. Construction of the church elements began in 1344 under the supervision of architects Peter Stecher and Peter Scheller. According to the author of the article, the edifice was different from what it was "today", i.e. in the 19th century. The text tells the whole story of the church's expansion and its subsequent restoration by Archbishop Sierakowski. The paintings in the church are also described, including portraits of archbishops or Polish kings.
