Dominican Monastery

Temple , Architecture

The Catholic church was founded in Bohorodchany in 1691 at the expense of Countess Konstantsiya Potoska.

The first temple was wooden. In 1742-1762, a new stone church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in the Baroque style, as well as a Dominican monastery complex with clergy chambers, a fence and a gate.

The complex was heavily damaged during the First World War. The miraculous icon of the Mother of God, which was taken to Poland in 1944, was kept in the Bohorodchany church.

In the 1990s, the local authorities handed over the UOC temple to the Moscow Pariarchate, thus causing a conflict with the city's Roman Catholic community. The Orthodox Church of Peter and Paul operated in the church building, and a music school was housed in the wards.

In 2020, the church was finally returned to the Roman Catholic Church.
