Description

Since 1686, the old Drukarska Street of Lviv has been known as the Road Behind the Deer. House No. 3, the so-called house "Under the Mother of God" (from the 18th-century figure of the Mother of God, located in a niche on the second floor), belonged to the Lviv merchant Stancel Scholz around 1543. Warehouses for goods arriving in Lviv were located in the house's courtyard. At the end of the 19th century, the old tenement house was dismantled, and in 1898 a new one, designed by architect Ivan Levynsky, was built on this site. The new house was also decorated with the figure of the Mother of God. After World War II, the figure disappeared and was restored only in 1998. At the beginning of the century, the first floor housed Jan Mushynsky's liquor and vodka factory. In 1903, an unfortunate incident occurred here: a household gas explosion that destroyed window and shop window frames.
