History

The Greek Catholic monastery of the Basilian monks was originally built in 1912 and was 4 stories high. It was built from the donation of Subcarpathian believers returning from America. It is currently home to the University’s Faculty of Physics and a Zoological Museum. Here you can see the richest collection of birds of prey in Ukraine, collected by ornithologist Hrabár A. for half a century.
