The Metropolitan Palace stands opposite St. George's Cathedral in Lviv, Ukraine, and has been the principal residence of the Metropolitans of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church since the 16th century. The current building was erected in 1761–62 to designs by Clement Fessinger, showing the transition from Baroque to Neoclassical. Its façade bears a plaque in memory of Archbishop Andrey Sheptytsky, and Pope John Paul II stayed there during his 2001 visit to Ukraine.
