The Church of Transfiguration in Lviv was originally built sometime between 1703 and 1731 as a Roman Catholic Curch of the Holy Trinity of Trinitarian Order. In 1783, the monastery was abolished by Joseph II, an Austrian emperor. After the monastery was abolished, the building was used as a library of the Lviv University until is was destroyed in 1848 by Austrian artillery during the Spring of Nations.

In April 1906, the building was given a blessing by the Ukrainian Metropolitan of Lviv Servant of God Andrew, Bishop of Peremyshl Constantine and Bishop of Stanyslaviv Blessed Gregory. The church was then known as the Greek Catholic Church of the Transfiguration of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The Church of Transfiguration was one of the main cultural centers of the Ukrainian national movement that occurred during the first half of the 20th century. In 1989, it became the first church to be returned to the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church after the imminent collapse of the Soviet Union.
