Dungeons of the Jesuit Church
About this tour
Tour of the underground halls of the Garrison Church of Apostles Peter and Paul.
In 2016-2017,
several new underground halls of the Jesuit Church were excavated and opened
for viewing, some of them were filled with interesting exhibits. Therefore,
this place ceased to be just a part of the Lviv dungeons, but turned into a
full-fledged tourist object.
This dungeon has
long been the most valuable object of an underground tour, and after the
installation of three plastic panoramas of medieval Lviv, it became even more
interesting and mysterious.
In ancient
times, the dungeons of churches were used for honorable burials, so here, as
before, you can see the sarcophagus of Metropolitan Mykola Vyzhitskyi. The
mystery of the broken wall of the stone tomb is still not solved, but there are
legends that open the veil of the unknown.
The dungeon is
two-level, part of its walls are the ruins of previous buildings that stood on
this site before the construction of the temple. Artifacts found here during
excavations are displayed in certain halls and tunnels, in others there are
posters telling about prominent Lviv residents of the past, some rooms are
impressive only by their appearance.
The underground
halls available for viewing are located not only under the temple itself, but
also under the neighboring building - the College of Jesuit monks, one of the
first educational institutions in Lviv.
Three panoramic
images of our city of the 13th, 16th and 18th centuries deserve special
attention, thanks to which we can easily transport our imagination in time - to
medieval Lviv and learn about its history and legends.
And they also
say that a ghost roams the dungeons, but whether this story is true, no one
knows for sure.
We invite you to
immerse yourself in the world of the mysterious and interesting by visiting the
Dungeon of the Jesuit Church with us.
