House of Scientists

Once a casino and now an events venue for the Regional Union of Education and Science, the House of Scientists is a shining piece of turn-of-the-century architecture. The building was drawn up by the Viennese pair Fellner & Helmer who built numerous landmarks across Central and Eastern Europe in this period. It was a casino up to 1939 and had a salacious reputation, while during the Second World War the Nazis used it to process prisoners for their camps. The architecture is in a plush Neo-Baroque style and famed for the opulence of its interiors. You have to go inside where there’s a staircase meticulously carved from oak illuminated by a domed skylight. This beckons you up to the first floor to a beautiful library and seven other rooms embellished with chandeliers, marble fireplaces, stuccowork and period furniture.

This place is definitely worth visiting to feel a breathtaking atmosphere of Lviv✨💫

Rotshield villa is a much better experience, although pretty good for Ukraine.
