Temple , Architecture
The monastery and church of the Carmelites in Kysylyn were built at the beginning of the 18th century on the basis of the complex of buildings of the Kysylyn Academy, founded at the beginning of the 17th century by Protestant Socinians (Arians).
After the prohibition of Socinianism in the Rech Pospolyta, the academy was handed over to the order of Carmelite nuns, the educational buildings were turned into monastery cells. In 1720, the Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built. The two-story building of the monastery is combined with the building of the church. In the interior, wonderful arches with carvings, as well as frescoes on biblical themes, have been preserved.
After the end of the Second World War, in 1945, a flax processing factory was placed on the territory of the church. Only the outer wall of the two-story building survived in the monastery building. All interior decoration was completely replaced during the construction of the factory.
Today, the Carmelite monastery and church are in a state of disrepair, and the church is in ruins.

Monument
The Holocaust Victims Memorial in Kysylyn was opened in 2015 as part of the program of memorializing the places of mass burials of Jews during the Second World War "Protect the Memory".
The memorial was created on the northwestern outskirts of the village, where in 1942, during the occupation, the Nazis executed more than 500 Jews from the local ghetto. Only one managed to survive.
After the war, the mass grave was forgotten, its territory was used for agriculture. After determining the location of the mass burial by means of non-invasive methods of soil research, a memorial site was set up here.

Temple
The Church of Saint Archangel Michael in Kysylyn was built in 1777 on the site of the wooden church of the same name, known since 1645.
According to one version, the temple was originally an Arian temple, which led to its uncharacteristic squat architecture in the Baroque style. The walls of the building are sometimes more than one and a half meters thick. Above the intersection rises a two-level tower on a wide base, crowned with a decorative spire. The facade has a rich architectural decoration. Icons of the 17th century were preserved in the iconostasis of 1905. The building is surrounded by a brick fence with a massive belfry of an unusual shape.
Now the Saint Michael Church belongs to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.
