The Church of the Holy Trinity is a Carphathian tserkvas built in 1720 and was erected on the site of an old church dating from 1601 that was burned down in 1719. The church houses a five-storey iconostasis, with about 50 icons, which was restored in 1978-79.
The Great Synagogue of Zhovka was built in the 1690s and serves as a good example of a late Renaissance fortress style synagogue with baroque additions. The synagogue was designed to protect Jews from invasions and to this day a passageway to the roof and underground shelters exist. It was included in the 2000 World Monuments Watch.
The St. Onuphrius is a Greek Catholic church. Records describe a wooden church that stood on the same spot. This church was built in the 13th century, during the reign of Leo I of Halych. A monastery was built next to the church during the second half of the 15th century. The current stone building was built in 1550, but it has been destroyed and rebuilt several times.
The St. Nicholas Church is said to be one of the oldest buildings. It was simultaniously built with the rest of the city. The building has been restored many times.
