Biography Volodymyr Mykolayovych Pokrovskyi was born in 1864 in the city of Kamianets-Podilskyi. He graduated from the Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg in 1888, receiving a gold medal. For his work "Embassy House," he was awarded the title of Class I Artist in 1890. After completing his studies, he worked for some time in Warsaw. Initially, he held the position of architect for the Warsaw-Chełm Eparchy, but left it following the revolutionary events of 1905 due to threats to his family's safety. He then worked for a time at the Moscow Land Survey Office. In 1906, he appealed to Archbishop Arsenii of Kharkiv with a request to be appointed diocesan architect.

From the beginning of his activity in Kharkiv, Pokrovskyi became an active participant in the city's urban development. His first project was the Church of the Three Holy Hierarchs (Holberg Church).

In addition, he designed churches in numerous settlements across the Kharkiv Governorate, including the Ascension Church in the village of Borshchivka in 1913. His architectural works can also be found in the Sumy, Kyiv, and Luhansk regions.
