Capuchin monastery in Lviv

The temple was finished being built in 1930. It was designed by Jan Karol Zubrzycki is probably the best Lviv architect of the early 20th century, a teacher and art historian. In Poland, he built many churches and the Church of the Capuchin monastery is not the worst of them. The style of the temple — historicism. Then you and the neo-Baroque and neo-Renaissance and neo-Gothic. An outstanding architect embodied what he considered the Polish authenticity in architecture. Capuchins appeared in Lviv back in the 18th century, but the reforms of Emperor Joseph II them out of the city were expelled. Then they left the building of his monastery.





Now a complex of buildings on Korolenko 1. In the late 19th century, the Capuchins decided to restore its presence in Lviv. They were allocated land in Zamarstyniv and in 1904 began construction of wing cells. But the Church began to build in twenty years. In 1933 he built a parish house. The monastery acquired a U-shaped form.







The Church of the Capuchin monastery resembles a new building, although he was already more than eighty years. Describe its architecture, I will not – I think you'll appreciate looking at the photos, and even better — visit the monument. Now it is Greco-Catholic Church consecrated in honor of St. Josaphat. Temple, do monks of the order of Redemptorists.
