To the west of Lviv’s city centre, there was once a manor belonging to the Sykst family. After the 1527 fire, the oldest buildings in Lviv were destroyed, which was followed by a steady development of city outskirts – encompassing the Sykst manor as well.

The Sykst estate lent its name to the Sykstuska district and street (with the latter now called Petra Doroshenka Street). The chapel found on the site was built in 1580 as a part of the family’s property, and was most likely used as a boundary marker or to commemorate some important event.  In 1600, thanks to the efforts of a noblewoman named Anna Pstrokońska, a larger chapel was built next to the original one. The former was expanded over time, becoming eventually the Church of St Mary Magdalene. Later on, it was given to the care of Dominican monks.

The building took the form of a four-sided column topped with a cuboidal chapel depicting the Passion and a monk with a cross. The whole was crowned with a pyramidal roof with a pinnacle topped with a cross; it inspired the name for the street beginning at the foot of the chapel – the Kshyzova Street (now the Henerala Chuprynky Street). The cornice crowning the building features a Latin inscription. Similar rhyming motifs can be found on the four-sided column of the chapel.

2018

In 2018, the Foundation commenced the conservation-restoration works aimed at stopping the process of degradation of the historic chapel and restore it to its original artistic, aesthetic, and architectural condition. 

The task was carried out using the means provided as part of the project entitled “Conservation of the chapel of the Sykst family at the Church of St Mary Magdalene in Lviv, Ukraine”, financed by “Polonika” National Institute of Polish Cultural Heritage Abroad.
