Abstract
The path of life of Julian Oktawian Zachariewicz (17.07.1837 - 27.12.1898), talented Armenian architect, who dedicated himself to the scientific and pedagogical activities in Lviv Polytechnic National University, then Imperial-royal polytechnic school, was traced within the framework of the study of the topic “Prominent figures in culture and development of Lviv”. Having founded the Galician School of Architecture, he implemented his projects in administrative and private buildings of Lviv and crown land of Galicia and Vladimiria (Lodomeria), which remain a decoration and an example of architectural mastery until now. As part of the study, the author introduces to the science newspaper publications of past years (pre-Soviet period, September 1939), dedicated to the solemn dates associated with the name of the prominent architect. The author concludes that Julian Oktawian Zachariewicz’s biography can be considered as the historical source of research on the development of “neo” style architecture in the administrative, sacred and private urban buildings of Lviv of the Austro-Hungarian period (1872-1918). Despite the fact that Zachariewicz himself did not focus on his nationality, his relation to the Armenian diaspora, the Armenian ethnic group and Armenian Christianity reflected on his work and this aspect should be researched in the future.
