Metropolitan Palace

Metropolitan Palace, Neoclassical palace in Lviv, Ukraine.

The Metropolitan Palace is a neoclassical building in Lviv featuring symmetrical facades and elegant columns that reflect 18th-century architectural design. Its interior contains grand halls and rooms arranged to serve administrative and religious functions.

The building was constructed in 1762 and served for centuries as the residence of Greek-Catholic Metropolitans of Lviv. Over time it became an important center for church administration and religious affairs in the region.

The palace housed the leadership of the Greek-Catholic Church, where major religious decisions were made that affected communities across Ukraine. Its rooms tell the story of how this institution shaped spiritual life in the region.

The exterior is visible from the street and can be appreciated at any time from outside. If you want to see the interior, check ahead as visiting times and access may vary by season.

The building retains much of its original structure and furnishings that reflect how this religious elite lived and worked. Walking through its rooms provides a genuine sense of daily life within the Greek-Catholic leadership hierarchy.
