Discalced Carmelites Monastery-Fortress
The monastery-fortress of the Discalced Carmelites in Berdychiv is the All-Ukrainian Sanctuary of the Mother of God of the Holy Scapular.
The majestic architectural complex with defensive walls, towers and a magnificent baroque church was founded in the 16th century as a castle of the Tyshkevych, who owned these lands since the 14th century.
In 1630, Voivode Yanush Tyshkevych, after his remarkable rescue from Tatar captivity, donated the castle to the Catholic Order of the Discalced Carmelites. The construction of the monastery lasted from 1634 to 1632. In the 18th century, it was reconstructed according to the project of Yan de Vitte, who built the upper church of the Holy Trinity above the lower church of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary.
