Attractions of Ternopil region

The Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Order of Dominican Observants was built by Vinnytsia's headman, Colonel Lyudvik Kalynovsky, in the late Baroque style.

The project was developed by the famous architect Yan de Vitte, commandant of the Kamyanets fortress. The plan of the temple is made in the form of the family coat of arms of the Kalynovsky family - an arrow with two stars near the forked tail. The role of stars is performed by multifaceted towers, the tip of an arrow is guessed in the altar part. The facade is crowned by a sculpture of the Virgin Mary.

Nearby is the monastery building, which, after the abolition of the Dominican monastery by the Austrian authorities in 1784, was used as a priest's house.

During Soviet times, the church was closed and abandoned, now services are sometimes held. Restoration has begun.

The old defense church of the Immaculate Conception of the Immaculate Virgin Mary rises in the center of the village of Trybukhivtsi on Castle Hill.

There used to be a cemetery near the church, where many people famous for the village were buried, including the poet Tymon Zaborovskyi. But with the arrival of Soviet power, the cemetery was razed to the ground, and the church was closed. The building began to be used as a chemical warehouse.

Today, the church is in a state of disrepair: the walls are moldy, trees are growing inside the premises, the roof collapsed in 2008.

Yan Sheptytsky, Adjutant General of the Polish Army, a participant in the Napoleonic campaign to Moscow, is buried in the church.

Two monuments have also been preserved on Castle Hill. The first, "Shadows of Dead Souls", was erected in memory of the victims of the plague that raged in Trybukhivtsi in 1830, when more than 200 people died. Unfortunately, only the legs of the allegorical figure of Sorrows on the pedestal remain. The second monument is a high stone point on which a helmet is placed. Built in honor of Mykhaylo Zaborovsky (1812).
