Dungeon of the garrison church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul

The main idea of the dungeon is to introduce visitors to the past and present of the Garrison Temple in the context of the development of the city. The times changed, the people, the city, and with them the temple changed. Therefore, during the visit you will be able to follow all the changes that took place in this place from the princely times to the present. Waiting for you:

• acquaintance with Lviv of princely times. Thanks to the layout of the city of the appropriate time, you can see what our city looked like at the beginning of its history and see what the place where the Garrison Temple would later appear looked like in those times;
• surveys of Lviv in the 15th century On the second floor of the dungeon, the remains of the building of the city school, which was built in the XV century, have been preserved. And the Jesuit complex itself appeared on the site of several houses that existed in the Middle Ages. What did they look like? What was the city like at that time? What did the people of Lviv look like? The answer to all these questions you can find;
• how has the city changed after the fire of 1527? How were buildings built in the XVII-XVIII centuries? Where was the first astronomical observatory in the history of Ukraine? After all, how and for what were these dungeons built and used? What is a real sarcophagus doing here?

This can also be found during a visit to the dungeon.

Separately, there is a hall dedicated to the history of the temple itself. In the exhibition “arsenal” of this hall there are various things that have survived to this day and show what was one of the favorite shrines of Lviv residents before the Second World War.
In addition to this! The exposition of the dungeon is gradually being modernized in the direction of digitalization, so today visitors will be able to virtually walk through the temple, as of 2012, use the virtual map of the city of the XVIII century. and this is only the beginning!”
