General information about Saint Basil's Rotunda Church (Volodymyr)

Saint Basil's Rotunda Church is a unique example of Orthodox architecture. The name of the architect Oleksa, who built the temple, is mentioned in the Galician-Volyn Chronicle.

Elements of Gothic architecture can be traced in the structural and technical solution, in particular the eight-petal ceiling.

In 1901, a Russian-style bathhouse was built on top, which changed the look of the church beyond recognition.

Свято-Василівська церква-ротонда - унікальний зразок православної архітектури. Ім'я архітектора Олекси, який збудував храм, згадується в Галицько-Волинському літописі.

В конструктивно-технічному рішенні простежуються елементи готичної архітектури, зокрема восьмипелюсткове перекриття.

В 1901 році зверху була надбудована баня в російському стилі, яка до невпізнання змінила вигляд церкви.
