During the renovation of the Shukhevych Museum, what is believed to be his hideout was discovered
During renovation and construction work to restore the museum dedicated to UPA General Roman Shukhevych in Bilohorshcha, workers discovered a unique find beneath the parquet floor—a two-meter-long stone-lined chamber in the building’s foundation that may have served as a hiding place.
The Lviv City Council reported this on Facebook.
Currently, historians and archaeologists are conducting a detailed investigation into the purpose of this space and its direct connection to the underground leader, although no valuable artifacts were found during the initial excavations.
City authorities have already decided to preserve the discovered site for future visitors by covering the space with sturdy protective glass as part of the exhibition. Work on restoring the destroyed museum, which began in early March of this year, has been slightly delayed due to the discovery. Despite this, builders plan to complete the walls and fully roof the building by the end of June.
Work has begun in Lviv to restore the Roman Shukhevych Museum, which was destroyed by a Russian strike. The reconstruction project has already received all necessary approvals, and work has now moved into the practical phase.
As a reminder, on January 1, 2024, Russian “Shahed” missiles struck two sites of national significance in Lviv: the university in Dublyany, where Stepan Bandera studied 100 years ago, and the Roman Shukhevych Museum in Bilohorshcha. The museum was completely destroyed.
