Місто Городок на річці Смотрич розташоване в 50 кілометрах на північний захід від Хмельницького. Тут проходить Троянів вал.

Saint Stanislav Church

Temple

The Church of Saint Stanislav was built in 1989 on the site of the cemetery chapel - the only church preserved in Horodok during the Soviet regime.

The first wooden church in the city was founded back in 1496, and the previous church of Saint Stanislav, built in 1779 by Yan Zamoyskyi, was located in the center of the city.

The present church was built by the efforts of father Vladyslav Vanahs. The church of the Polish Army in Warsaw was taken as a sample.

In 2023, the sanctuary of Saint Anthony of Padua was established in the church of Saint Stanislav, which houses the miraculous icon.
