Villa "Pivoniia"

Interesting legends about the "Pivoniia" villa have circulated in the city of Lviv since the beginning of the 19th century. Back then, a strange story was linked to this building. According to legend, the villa’s owner, Sara, was able to remain perpetually young through a contract with the devil. The men who hid with her suddenly died. Only one doctor managed to resist the woman’s charms and uncover her secret. Because of this, the owner suddenly died. That is how the series of male deaths in the city came to an end. However, no one ever managed to become happy in the house. Later, the villa was destroyed, and in its place, in Pohulianka, if rumors are to be believed, a church building was erected.

And although the witch’s villa was destroyed, even a walk through Pohulianka Park will be a pleasant way to spend time. This protected natural forest park, Pohulianka, has been a favorite leisure spot for Lviv residents for more than a hundred years.
