General information about Holy Scapular Mother of God Church (Bratslav)

The Church of the Mother of God of the Holy Scapular in Bratslav was built in 1865-1884 with donations from parishioners. Before that, there were wooden Catholic churches in the city, the first of which is mentioned in the 16th century, but they often burned down.

The new Bratslav church was built of brick in the Baroque style. On both sides of the facade rose two Gothic towers covered with gilded iron, on which two gilded iron crosses were installed. Between the towers of the church there were three stone statues: the Mother of God with the Savior, Saint Joseph and Saint John. In 1889, the church was consecrated by Bishop Kyrylo Lyubovydskyi.

During Soviet times, the shrine was closed, the building housed a cultural center. Today, the Bratslav church is active again.

Костел Матері Божої святого скапулярію у Брацлаві побудований у 1865-1884 роках на пожертвування парафіян. До того в місті були дерев'яні католицькі храми, перший з яких згадується в XVI сторіччі, але часто горіли.

Новий брацлавський костел був збудований із цегли у стилі бароко. По обидва боки фасаду височіли дві готичні вежі, вкриті золоченим залізом, на яких було встановлено два залізні золочені хрести. Між вежами костелу знаходилися три кам'яні статуї: Матері Божої зі Спасителем, Святого Йосипа та Святого Іоанна. У 1889 році костел освятив єпископ Кирило Любовидський.

За радянських часів святиня була зачинена, у будівлі розміщувався будинок культури. Нині брацлавський костел знову чинний.
