The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is located in the center of the city of Bar, next to the church and the city park, where the remains of the Bar castle have been preserved.

Previously, there was a small Trinity Church on this place, which was mentioned in 1738. According to legend, it was founded by the Cossack colonel Semen Paliy, who led the anti-Polish uprising in 1702 and captured Bar.
