The Church of St. Francis Xavier
Perhaps the most ambitious Catholic Church in Belarus. Its size it surpasses the famous Sophia in Polotsk.
At the consecration of the church in honor of St. Francis Xavier in 1705 was attended by King August II and Russian Tsar Peter I
Hostels on the tower of the clock is set, the mechanism of which is still!
The latter are only in London.
He's inside
Even today, in the panorama of the old part of the city, opening from the left bank of the Neman is dominated by religious buildings - and of course it's churches!
Their nemeryannom in town!
But also present church !!!
For example:
HOLY CATHEDRAL
PAKROVSKY
Female Orthodox monastery
The complex includes the Church of Nativity, residential and economic housing, chapel. The church was built in 1726 (arch. J. Fontana)
Very old architecture of the beginning of the 2nd millennium
In the former suburb Kolosha is Boris and Gleb Church (12th c.)
One wall of the church washed xs few years ago.
The church was restored course !!!
Also interesting is the fact that the remainder of the wall on each brick is a brand masters, and in the wall built of clay pots, which produce sound with drop dead prayers.
Naidu picture inside later lay
