General information about Saint Anthony's Church (Velyki Mezhyrichi)

In the second half of the 17th century, the Lubomyrsky magnates, to whom Velyki Mezhyrichi belonged at that time, founded a Roman Catholic collegium.

In 1702-1725, the majestic church of Saint Anthony was built in the baroque style according to the project of the architect Voytsekh Lenartovych.

The church is stone, hall-type, with choirs, where the organ used to be. The interiors were decorated with rich stucco. The church is decorated with three pediments of late baroque character. On the altar side of the building, a two-story annex of the collegium with a library and an examination hall has been preserved.

Today, the church of Saint Anthony is in a very neglected state, although it is an architectural monument of national importance.

У другій половині XVII століття магнати Любомирські, яким на той момент належали Великі Межирічі, заснували римо-католицький колегіум.

При ньому в 1702-1725 роках було збудовано величний костел Святого Антонія у стилі бароко за проєктом архітектора Войцеха Ленартовича.

Храм кам'яний, зального типу, з хорами, де колись був орган. Інтер'єри прикрашала багата ліпнина. Костел прикрашений трьома фронтонами пізньобарочного характеру. З вівтарного боку будівлі збереглася двоповерхова прибудова колегіуму з бібліотекою та екзаменаційною залою.

Нині костел Святого Антонія в дуже занедбаному стані, хоч і є пам'яткою архітектури національного значення.
