The Arch-Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in 1700-1710 as a temple of the monastery of the Jesuit Order. During the war period, the church was severely damaged: two towers of the temple were destroyed, the frescoes on the walls were covered with paint, and the sports and assembly halls occupied the interior. In 1993, the shrine was returned to the faithful, and a complete restoration of the facade and interior of the building was carried out. Much has been restored from old photographs and eyewitness accounts. The new altar looks especially attractive now. It is also interesting to look at the paintings reflecting the way of the cross of Jesus Christ. The cathedral really started playing after the installation of the organ. Concerts with the participation of local and foreign performers are periodically held in the temple.

The Central One, I said so, is the Temple of Minsk! Well, it's beautiful to talk about the Temple there... it's a bit wrong...The place is salted.I was baptized there myself , on the way from the institute in 1993, it was already 23, I was terribly worried, and the priest said, you will read from the institute in Old Slavonic (church), 12 adults of different ages were baptized with me...So this temple is special to me!!! I visit there often, even though I have already opened in Sukharevo, and in the village of Glebki too!!! In general, it's a bit strange to evaluate a Temple, it gets warmer inside in everyone if a Person is a believer!
