Late baroque by Meretyn, with altars and dozens of sculptures by Pinsel.

The church and its Theatine monastery were raised at the expense of Mykola Potocki to a design by Bernard Meretyn — the same architect who built St George's Cathedral in Lviv. The sculptural decoration was made by Johann Georg Pinsel: some thirty works and five altars. Most of the sculptures were lost in Soviet times, when a mechanics' vocational school was placed inside the monument; one remains on the column before the entrance. Since 2020 volunteers have been doing not restoration but emergency conservation — the roof, the drainage, clearing the undercrofts.

A working church in an emergency-conservation state. Tours of the undercrofts are by prior call to the numbers on the information boards by the church.
