    Architecture

    The building is a two-story, plastered brick structure featuring a corner turret that serves as the focal point of the façade's architectural composition. It was constructed in the form of a miniature castle. The decorative finishes of the façades are characterized by their restraint. The window openings are rectangular, while those on the turret are semicircular and round. The corners are articulated with rusticated lesenes.

    The core of the interior spatial structure is a central hall around which the smaller rooms are arranged. The layout follows an enfilade-and-corridor design principle.

    The building is an original architectural monument of Early Historicism.

      The Rifle's Association estate with a park, located at vul. Lysenka, 23a, dates back to the nineteenth century. Throughout its existence, the complex underwent multiple renovations. It is designated as a local architectural and urban planning monument (protection No. M-980). The main building of the Rifle's Association — the so-called Strzelnica (shooting range) — dates to 1899 and is associated with architects Jozef Engel and Alfred Kamenobrodzki. In the post-war period, World and European champions, medalists, and Olympians — including Mykola Kalynychenko, Dmytro Bobrun, Volodymyr Zymenko, and others — trained and competed in the northern wing of the Strzelnica. On October 14, 2012, the Museum of the Ukrainian Liberation Struggle opened in the former palace of the Strzelnica. The building is registered as a local architectural and urban planning monument (protection No. M-158).
