Abstract

An attempt to retrace the main trends in the temple architecture in Volhynia province within the Russian Empire was made in the article. This period was generally characterized by a gradual strengthening of the Russian Orthodox Church and the expulsion of two other Christian denominations: Byzantine-rite Catholic (Uniat) and Roman Catholic. Against this background, in church architecture can be traced the various stylistic currents, based on different artistic paradigms: Classicism (the first third of the 19th century), Romanticism, Gothic, Byzantinism, Neo-Russian Historicism, Art Nouveau, as well as their morphological interferences.
