History

This theme follows the sites of particular interest to the vibrant Art Nouveau style in the city's architecture and culture. This is predominantly an architectural theme - though not exclusively. While there are fine examples of the Viennese school of Art Nouveau (Secession), Lemberg/Lwów/L'viv also has a school of its own, described variously as "Hutzul style" and "Ruthenian/Ukrainian Secession," a style characterized by a fusion of the Viennese style with references to rural architecture and folklore of the Carpathian mountains.

  • Vul. Zalizniaka, 11 – Church of St. Joseph the Betrothed

    The former Jesuit Retreat House is a monument of early twentieth-century architecture, situated set back on its plot southwest of the city center in the Novyi Svit district.

Between 1914 and 1916, the Jesuit Church of St. Joseph and Blessed Andrzej Bobola was built adjacent to the retreat house, based on a design by architects Stanisław Dydek and Franciszek Mączyński. In September 1939, during the shelling and aerial bombardment of Lviv, the roofs of both the retreat house and the church were damaged. The Soviet authorities closed the house on April 4, 1946. During the Soviet period, it functioned as a school; the building was remodeled, connected to the church by a gallery, and the decoration of the principal elevation was altered. Since August 1993, a portion of the building has been transferred to the novitiate of the Greek Catholic Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy of St. Vincent de Paul. The church now houses the Greek Catholic Church of St. Joseph the Betrothed, while most of the house's premises are used by the National Forestry and Wood-Technology University of Ukraine.
