Description

The Campian family chapel, built into the northern side of the Latin Cathedral, is the most beautiful and valuable chapel of the Lviv Cathedral, richly decorated with marble and alabaster. In 1619-1629, Wrocław craftsmen who worked in Lviv - Jerzy Pfister and Henryk Horst - built it on the basis of the ancient Strumyll chapel, erected by architect Pavel Rymlyanyn around 1597, as a family mausoleum of the Campian, Ostrogorsky and Grosvaier families. The photo shows the tombstones of Pavel (d. 1600) and Martin (d. 1629) Campian, mounted on the right side of the chapel.
