The Transfiguration Church

Initially, in 1703-1731, this building was built as a church of the Roman Catholic Order of the Trinitarians, but in 1898, according to the project of architect S. Gavrishkevich, it was rebuilt into the Transfiguration Church.

The temple went down in history as the place of murder of father Gabriel Kostelnik. He was shot by an Ounov on the steps of the church for leading the process of joining the Russian Orthodox Church to the Greek Catholic Church.

Old and damp dungeons of this shrine keep age-old secrets and amaze with the size of their galleries.

In the Middle Ages it was used as a burial place. Unfortunately, the most ancient burials have sunk into oblivion, and those human skeletons that were found by archaeologists in the 90s were transferred to a common grave under a stone slab.

But to this day, there is still an underground passage that connected the monastery and the temple.
