The Black Tenement House in Lviv (also called Lorencowiczowska or Anczowska from the names of the first owners) - a tenement house in Lviv, in the Market Square at no. 4, Renaissance, erected in 1588–1589 according to the design of Piotr Barbon. The creator of the characteristic elevation was probably Andrzej Podleśny.
Rebuilt in 1596 (increased by two storeys) and 1884, one of the most valuable monuments of Polish architecture in the 16th century; in the years 1926–1940 it housed the Historical Museum of the City of Lviv, including, from November 20, 1938, the Historical Museum of the Defense of Lviv. From 1940, it houses the Ukrainian Historical Museum in Lviv.
The tenement house was built for the Italian customs collector Tomasz Alberti. Soon it passed into the hands of the apothecary family of Lorencowicz, and then - of the wealthy patrician Marcin Nikanor Anczewski (Anczowski).
Since 1926, it has been the property of the city, which included the historical museum of the city of Lviv.
The facade of the tenement house is covered with diamond sandstone rustication, which has blackened with age or - according to other sources - has been painted black; hence the name of the tenement house.
The black tenement house is considered to be one of the most valuable monuments of bourgeois architecture from the Renaissance era in old Poland.
