Lontsky Prison Museum in Lviv
About
The prison museum on Loncky is an unofficial pilgrimage site for those whose friends or family were victims of terror by various authorities at different times. It was repurposed from a facility used by the city's penal services, which meted out justice to political prisoners. The interior of each room has been restored and made to resemble its appearance in the times before it became a museum. Visitors can explore the lists of prisoners who were executed here, whose names had long been encrypted. Additionally, the museum presents the history of Father Nikolai Khmilevsky, whose activities as the leader of the underground Greek Catholic Church and a member of the Ukrainian Main Liberation Council were also condemned at the time.

Цікаве історичне місце, атмосфера тих часів відображена чудово. Окрема подяка приємному охоронцю вчора: зустрів з посмішкою і так само попрощався) Рекомендую до відвідування!

Историческая память, которую могут посетить все абсолютно бесплатно. Не знаю, за чей счет финансирование, но огромная благодарность работникам. Прекрасно, когда есть место, куда можно повести ребенка и показать часть жуткой истории советского союза

Музей «Тюрма на Лонцького» - це сильне емоційне враження і важливий історичний досвід. Місце, де відчувається біль тисяч людей, які пройшли крізь репресії трьох окупацій. Камери, документи, архівні фото та збережені інтер’єри не дають забути, якою ціною виборювалась свобода. Це не просто музей - це нагадування про цінність людської гідності, пам’ять і застереження для майбутніх поколінь. Раджу кожному, хто цікавиться історією України, відвідати це місце.
