Assumption of Holy Virgin Church

Temple , Architecture

The defense church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the village of Bishche is officially dated 1664, but there is an assumption that it could have been created much earlier - in the 16th or even the 14th century.

According to one of the versions, the church was built by Dominican monks, who were invited by the founder of the city of Bishche, nobleman Yan Boshch. The massive three-tier defensive tower of the church is an example of the transition from Romanesque to Gothic architecture. The portal of the church is made in the Renaissance style. Its defensive power was strengthened by stone walls and ramparts. Powerful buttresses were added during the reconstruction in 1730.

During the Second World War, the Church of the Assumption in Bishche was badly damaged and was in a dilapidated state for a long time. Restoration work has been ongoing since 2013. Currently, the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary has been partially restored.
