Fedorov Book House

Lviv, Fedorova, 4

About this place

Those who believe in ghosts and want once again to make sure they exist should visit the Fedorov House of Books in Lviv. Visitors say that in this building it is possible not only to buy good, high-quality Ukrainian-language books, but also to witness a mysterious phenomenon. In the library book storage room, books keep falling to the floor for no apparent reason. And, they say, among the books that have fallen, there are always books related to funeral services. Librarians say that this is precisely how the restless spirit of the first printer Ivan Fezhorov is trying to convey his request to contemporaries — to bury his body.

This phenomenon has been going on for about 20 years; however, it is officially known that the remains of F. Fedorov were buried at Onufrynskyi Cemetery, although the tombstone slab was used to pave the church.
