General information about Saint Nicholas Cathedral (Franciscan Monastery) (Kremenets)

Saint Nicholas Cathedral in the baroque style was originally built as a church of the Franciscan monastery, founded in 1606 at the expense of the Vyshnevetsky family (according to legend, Queen Bona was the founder of the monastery).

At the monastery there was a fraternal school and a printing house, where the "Kremenetska Grammar" was printed. In 1832, after the defeat of the Polish uprising and the beginning of the Russification of Western Ukrainian lands, the church was transformed into an Orthodox cathedral. During the reconstruction, the temple lost its Gothic-Renaissance look and acquired Baroque features.

Now the temple is active.

Свято-Миколаївський собор у стилі бароко спочатку був споруджений як костел францисканського монастиря, заснованого в 1606 році коштом Вишневецьких (за легендою, засновницею обителі була королева Бона).

При монастирі діяла братська школа та друкарня, де було надруковано "Кременецьку граматику". В 1832 році, після поразки польського повстання та початку русифікації західноукраїнських земель, костел було перетворено на православний собор. При реконструкції храм втратив готико-ренесансний вигляд і набув рис бароко.

Нині храм діючий.
