The building at the corner of Universytetska and Sichovykh Striltsiv
streets was constructed in 1906–1907 as an additional wing of the monumental
Galician Sejm (Diet) building. The project was designed by architect Adolf
Kamienobrodzki who used the austere features of the Neo-Renaissance style
typical of Austro-Hungarian administrative architecture there. Now the building
functions as an academic building of the Lviv National Ivan Franko University.
Jan Kazimierz University (Uniwersytet Jana Kazimierza)
The Franz (Francis) I University of Lviv
was reorganized as the Jan Kazimierz University in 1918, after the
Polish-Ukrainian war and the battles for Lviv. During the period, the
University was one of the largest and most significant scientific and cultural
centers of interwar Poland. It was renamed after the beginning of the
Soviet occupation in 1939 into Ivan
Franko State University.
