Vul. Pekarska, 59 – former Gate building of the Resurrectionist Congregation monastery ID: 2445
The so-called gate building connecting the buildings of the Resurrectionist monastery and of the "Ruthenian boarding school" was built under a project designed by architect Albin Zagórski in 1897. Today its premises are owned by the religious community of the Ukrainian Christian Mission of Mercy Revival.
History
Albin Zagórski designed the project of the gate building in July of 1897, when all monastery buildings were already completed. The author developed two projects, including an alternative one. The architect attached great importance to the patterns of the fence, gate and the ground floor window openings where he used some Baroque motifs. The project was implemented with minor changes.
The building has not been reconstructed in the following years. Only the passage fence has been replaced and has geometric patterns from the first years of the 21st c.
Architecture
One of the components of the former Resurrectionist (Zmartwychwstańców) monastery buildings, the final element in shaping the architectural complex. It connects the church and the seminary building with the former "Ruthenian boarding school" building and forms an important compositional part of the ensemble. There is a small asphalted area in front of the gate, beyond the outer fence enclosing the passage.
