General information about Saint John Baptist Church (Iziaslav)

The Cathedral Catholic Church of Saint John the Baptist is one of the oldest buildings in Iziaslav.

Founded by Prince Yanush Zaslavsky and his wife Oleksandra next to the Iziaslav Castle, together with a school, a hospital and a presbytery. The architect Iacolo Madeleine built the defensive temple in the Gothic style, but after the reconstruction in 1756 under the guidance of the architect Paolo Fontana, it took on the features of the Renaissance.

The Church of John the Baptist served as the burial place of the Sangushko princes.

In Soviet times, the temple was turned into a local history museum, then the premises were used for various economic needs. In the 1960s. the house was heavily damaged by fire and has not yet been restored.

Кафедральний католицький костел святого Іоанна Хрестителя - одна з найстаріших споруд Ізяслава.

Заснований князем Янушем Заславським та його дружиною Олександрою поруч із Ізяславським замком разом зі школою, шпиталем та плебанією. Архітектор Яколо Мадлена виконав оборонний храм у формах готики, проте після реконструкції 1756 року під проводом архітектора Паоло Фонтани він набув рис ренесансу.

Костел Іоанна Хрестителя служив усипальницею князів Сангушків.

У радянські часи храм було перетворено на краєзнавчий музей, потім приміщення використовувалося для різних господарських потреб. У 1960-х роках будинок сильно постраждав від пожежі, досі не відновлювався.
