In my opinion, before the tourist was not allowed to go inside. Now you can, although for 10 UAH. Entering the twilight, at first you can’t understand what you paid money for. But when the gaze is focused and you raise your head up, you forget not only about money, but also who you are, where you are and what century it is in the yard now!

I was surprised to learn that the chapel barely survived during the Austrian rule in Lvov. The Austrians issued a decree on the transfer of all burials outside the boundaries of the central part of the city. Residents were given a year to rebury their loved ones. The Chapel of the Boims, which served as a family crypt, is one of the few that has survived in its place.
