Mineral water Buvet No. 1 (Lower Buvet)

Architecture

"Naftusya" source No. 1 is the most famous and popular among the drinking sources of the resort.

Buvet No. 1 is located in the center of the Truskavets resort.

"Naftusya" water belongs to weakly mineralized waters (mineralization, 0.7 grams per liter) and chemically belongs to the class of hydrocarbonate-sulfate-calcium-magnesium mineral waters.

As the very name "Naftusya" shows, it contains organic substances related to the Boryslav oil field: phenols, heavy acids of the saturated petroleum series, a small amount of hydrogen sulfide, and impurities of volatile sulfurous hydrocarbons. This gives the water a specific smell and taste of oil.

Water obtained directly from the source releases gas bubbles on the walls of a closed vessel during storage. When stored in an open container for several hours, the smell and taste of oil, as well as gas bubbles, disappear.

According to its physical and chemical composition and physiological effect on the body, "Naftusya" is a unique water and has no equal in any of the resorts. It has a beneficial effect and is indicated for patients suffering from kidney stone disease, uric acid diathesis, gout and other metabolic diseases. "Naftusya" also stimulates the choleretic, bile-secreting functions of the liver and the activity of many other organs.

Modernism Museum

Museum / gallery

A new exhibition of contemporary art of the Borys Voznytsky Lviv National Art Gallery - Modernism Museum - opened in 2021 in a modern two-storey office building made of silicate brick, erected in Soviet times behind the Potocki Palace.

A retrospective of Lviv art from early modern experiments to examples of the aesthetics of late structuralism is unfolded in the seven halls of the museum.

The exhibition hall of historical avant-garde and high modernism of 1914-1939 begins the exposition. The next section illustrates the existential sensitivity of postwar society and the state of social alienation of Lviv intellectuals in the days of totalitarian pressure of 1939-1953, in particular the work of Karl Zvirynsky and the artists of his "hermetic circle". The following are the works of artists of 1960-1970: Yevhen Lysyk, Lubomyr Medvid, Ivan Ostafiychuk, Roman Zhuk, Roman Petruk, whose works trace the influences of European trends: Dadaism, Surrealism and Neo-Expressionism, as well as the large-scale phenomenon of the "Lviv neo-avant-garde".

The last halls exhibit the works of the final phase of modern aesthetics and visualize the transitional period between Lviv modernism and postmodernism. The works of Myroslav Yahoda, Roman Zhuk, Rostyslav Lakh, and Andriy Sahaydakovsky reveal the phenomenon of anti-social alienation, close to the Western definition of "trans-avant-garde."

Museum "Staroskvariavsky Iconostasis" (Archangel Michael Church)

Temple , Architecture , Museum / gallery

The Church of Saint Archangel Michael in Stara Skvariava near Zhovkva is one of the oldest wooden churches in Ukraine that have an accurate dating.

According to the inscription on the timber of the southern wall, the temple was built in 1508. The church originally stood on the ancient Rus settlement Shchekotyn in nearby Hlynsk. In 1715, it was moved to Stara Skvariava, when the local church burned down.

The iconostasis was also moved - one of the best monuments of the Peremyshl school of icon painting. The icons of the prayer row, which depict two figures of saints and two evangelical subjects, belong to the 16th century. The central icon of the series is "Salvation in the Powers of Heaven", under which the "Last Supper" is depicted. These works belong to the masters of the Peremyshl school of icon painting. The royal gates date back to the middle of the 17th century.

Since 2015, the museum "Starokvariavsky iconostasis of the XVI-XVIII centuries" has been operating in the church - a branch of the Lviv Museum of the History of Religion.
