It was a wooden structure near the western part of the city's defensive walls where the Jesuit gate was located.

Between 1618 and 1621 the architect of the Jesuit Order, Giacomo Briano, modified the building design and supervised the construction works.

Having completed the building, in 1638 the vault of the church was decorated with stucco carving and covered with Matviy Klymkovych's paintings.

The sculptural crucifix by Jan Pfister embedded in one of the lateral altars is considered to be a precious artistic work.

In 1820, six years After Pope Pius VII renewed the Jesuit Order, they returned to Lviv and resumed control of the church.

They performed the duties of prison chaplains, organised prayer brotherhoods and provided monastic communities with spiritual care.

Haec aedes sacra inchoata 1610 dedicata 1630 restaurata 1842’ was mounted on the southern wall next to the façade.

In 1843 painter Alojzy Reichan created the icons of Ignatius of Loyola and Francis Xavier for two lateral altars.

During the church façade renovation in 1894 four statues of sainted Jesuits by Felix Pavlinski were placed in the lower tier bays: Ignatius of Loyola, Francis Xavier, Stanislaw Kostka and Andrzej Bobola.

Frescoes of the central vault and lateral naves were lost because of the bad condition of the church's roof and dampness.

On May 14, 2010, the Society of Jesus in Ukraine agreed to the reopening of Saint Apostles Peter and Paul Garrison Church under the UGCC.

I believe it would be appropriate to renew this church and taking into consideration its historic past to allow to resume pastoral care to meet the spiritual needs of the military of the city and their families.

The 20th anniversary of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Lviv was marked by the re-consecration of Saints Peter and Paul Garrison Church.

The ceremony was attended by the Head of Lviv Regional State Administration Mykhaylo Kostiuk, the Mayor of Lviv Andriy Sadovyi, the commander of Western Operation Headquarters lieutenant-general Yuriy Dumanskyi, rector of the Hetman Petro Sahaydachnyi Army Academy lieutenant-general Pavlo Tkachuk, commanders of military units and bases, garrison military men and the public.
