Probably the most interesting and unusual religious building in the city. The first church was built on this site back in the 14th century, later rebuilt. In the Turkish period, the church was a mosque, a minaret was attached to it. When the Poles returned, a statue of the Virgin was added. Inside the church there are richly decorated chapels, icons, a graceful statue of the girl Laura. In the garden there is a monument to Pan Volodyevsky, the prototype of the hero of the novel by Henryk Sienkiewicz. To hear a detailed history, it is better to take a guided tour.
