The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Drohobych serves as the main cathedral of the Sambir-Drohobych Eparchy of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. Originally constructed as a Roman Catholic church dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul in the late 17th century, it was later transferred to the Greek Catholic community. The architecture combines baroque elements with later modifications adapted for Eastern Rite liturgy. The interior features significant iconographic works and religious artifacts reflecting the local liturgical tradition. It remains an active place of worship for the local community and an administrative center for the eparchy. The structure is located on a prominent corner plot near the historic center of the city.
