The Assumption Church (Ukrainian: Успенська церква, historically known as the Wallachian Church) is the Ukrainian Orthodox church, located in the Old Town of Lviv.
The current building is built on the place of a ruined church in the period 1591–1629 by Paulo Romanus, Wojciech Kapinos and Amvrosiy Prykhylny; the bell tower was erected in the years 1571–1578 by Piotr Barbon.
The structure of the church is designed in the style of the Italian Renaissance, but based on the traditions of the Ukrainian construction: three-part and three-domed on the west-east axis, as the main type of Ukrainian wooden churches.
The church complex consists of the Assumption Church building, the Korniakt Tower and the Chapel of the Three Saints.
The Assumption Church is leased to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.
