The former Clarisse Order Convent (presently the Museum of J. H. Pinsel, a branch of the Lviv Art Gallery). The Clarisse Order Convent is the most noticeable feature of the lower part of Lychakivska Street. It was constructed in 1607 (by the architect P. Rymlianyn), and its interior was fixed up in the 1760’s. Over the course of 1938-1939, restoration with partial reconstruction (by the architect Y. Lobos) was conducted. As a result, the church’s architecture demonstrates a combination of Renaissance, Baroque and Art Deco forms.

The history of this building plot is closely linked to the Pillers’ print shop, which was known in the Austrian Empire, and the pharmacy of Antoni Ehrbar. The house still has three floors and there is a pharmacy, now that of mother and child; to the right of the gate, in the cellar, the Johnny Rocker café and the Zolotyi Fazan (Golden Pheasant) shop are arranged. It is an architectural monument of local significance (no. 617).

There are four buildings on this parcel, each of them having its history. The front house, a bright example of Historicism, was constructed by Ivan Levynskyi (Lewiński) in 1886-1889. Additions were designed by Władysław Derdacki and Stanisław Rewucki. The rear house, once owned by the cartographic and publishing factory Atlas, is adjacent to the city's eastern defensive line curtain. It is an architectural monument of local significance no. 619.

This private institution for the deaf-and-blind was founded in 1835. The school building was erected in 1841 by Florian Onderka in the Neoclassicist style featuring Biedermeier elements. It is surrounded by a park originally planned by Karl Bauer. In the late 19th century the building was extended by Ivan Levynskyi and in the early 20th century by Alfred Kamienobrodzki.

St. Anthony Roman Catholic Church is located to the east of the city center, on the slope of a hill on the upper part of a former Lychakivsky suburb. It stands between Zankovetska and Solodova Streets on a corner plot of land surrounded by a wall. The main dates and periods fixed in the construction chronology are the following: 1718-1739, 1765 (reconstruction, by the architect Franciszek Kulczycki), 1818 (erecting a bell tower, by the architect Józef Markl) and 1899-1901 (restoration, adding a presbytery). This church’s architecture is characterized by late Baroque and Rococo forms.

St. Peter and Paul Church was built on the territory of an former Lychakivsky outer district, to the east of the city center. The church is situated at the intersection of Lychakivska and Mechnikova Streets. Its architecture has Baroque and Classicism elements (the bell tower). The main construction dates are as follows: 1668 (a by-road chapel is built), the middle of the eighteenth century (reconstruction to set up the Roman Catholic Church of the Order of St. Paul the First Hermit), 1798 (reconstruction to erect the church, and a presbytery and a bell tower are built – by the architect K.

In 1934 the third floor was added (by the architect Wawrzynec Dajczak). Today the building houses a branch of the military hospital of the Frontier Troops of Ukraine.
