Savior and Transfiguration Church
The Transfiguration Church in Shumsk was founded as a church of the Franciscan monastery in 1715.
The monastery in Shumsk itself was founded by the Volyn voivode Malynsky back in 1637, and was originally a Basilian (Uniate) monastery. In 1676, one of the voivode's descendants, who converted to Catholicism, handed over the monastery to the Franciscans.
The church was made in the Gothic-Renaissance style, the building had a defensive character. At the end of the 18th century, a three-tier bell tower was added. In 1837, the church was rebuilt in the Ukrainian Baroque style and became an Orthodox church.
Above the entrance, the coat of arms of the family of the founders of the Malynsky temple is still preserved.
