20110418 Dominican view

The Dominican Church, in historic L'viv, Ukraine.

Built between 1749 and 1761 in Baroque style, the (then Roman Catholic) church of Corpus Christi is thought to have been designed by famous architect Jan de Witte, and largely funded by the Potocki family. The bell tower was added in the middle of the 19th century and the facade was renovated extensively at the beginning of the 20th. Like many churches, it spent much of the Soviet period as a warehouse, and was later converted into the Museum of Religion and Atheism. With the fall of the Soviet Union, and Ukrainian independence, it was once again consecrated, this time as the Greek Catholic church of the Holy Eucharist.

Shot with my Nikon D40 and a Sigma 10-20mm EX DC HSM lens, and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
