Vul. Pekarska, 59 – former Gate building of the Resurrectionist Congregation monastery
The so-called gate building connecting the buildings of the Resurrectionist monastery and of the "Ruthenian boarding school" was built under a project designed by architect Albin Zagórski in 1897. Today its premises are owned by the religious community of the Ukrainian Christian Mission of Mercy Revival.
Architecture
One of the components of the former
Resurrectionist (Zmartwychwstańców)
monastery buildings, the final element in shaping the architectural complex. It
connects the church and the seminary building with the former "Ruthenian
boarding school" building and forms an important compositional part of the
ensemble. There is a small asphalted area in front of the gate, beyond the
outer fence enclosing the passage.
The two-tiered building is constructed of
brick and plastered. The arched passage opening is located on the central axis.
The premises are arranged according to the enfilade principle. Some clear signs
of the Neo-Renaissance style can be seen in the southern façade’s exterior
design. The vertical pilaster division is interrupted by broad horizontal lines
of bars laid between the floors and of an attic parapet. The upper tier’s
rectangular windows have trimmings and are paired above the passage arch. On
the both sides of the arch in the lower tier, there are smaller pairs of
windows located one above the other. The passage arch is accentuated by an
archivolt with a keystone in the middle. The passage is barred by a delicate
metal fence. The rear northern façade composition imitates the front façade
design in a simplified form. As a separate architectural unit, the building is
one of the ensemble’s key elements, a most successful one in view of its formal
solution.
