Description

The Monastery of Sacre-Coeur (Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus) in Lviv with an educational institution for girls was founded in 1843 with the assistance of the Viceroy of Galicia, Archduke Ferdinand d'Este, and Archbishop Franz de Paul Pisztek. A house was rented for the first four girls on St. George's Square, and a year later its long-term reconstruction began. An orphanage was completed on the side of Karpinskogo Street (1841), and a neo-Gothic church-chapel was built according to the design of Vincent Rawsky the Elder (1860–1864). Architects Ivan Levynsky and Jan Kudelsky rebuilt the Convent of Sacre-Coeur (1884–1897). In 1940, a school was located here, and during the German occupation, a military hospital. In 1946, the girls left for Poland, and Sacre-Coeur became the property of the Lviv Polytechnic. Around 1972, the chapel, orphanage, and garden were demolished and built over with new buildings.
