The complex of the Jesuit collegium and the church occupied a central place in the ensemble of the historical center. The Collegium building was built in the middle of the 17th century. It has a long facade facing Lenin Square (formerly Shopping Square), and a short facade facing the river. The corner of the building is fixed by a massive hexagonal residential tower, which was a kind of buttress and, obviously, carried defensive functions if necessary. Numerous office and living quarters, traditional for buildings of this type, were assembled on three floors of the collegium. The architecture of the facades shows Renaissance features (in the decoration of windows and paneling) and Baroque (in the roof with a figured pediment and volute finials). The Collegium building is well preserved, and currently houses administrative and public organizations. The Jesuit Church (1635) was burned down during the last war and dismantled during the reconstruction of the central square of the city. In the past, it closed the perspective of the main street of Pinsk and was the center of the old part of the city. The architecture of the Baroque church was characterized by an elegant appearance: the side extensions of the main part ended with semicircles of walls with arched openings.

If you come to Pinsk for a weekend walk, it's worth a visit. There are interesting exhibits, and it's a great place to start a walk. Then exit to the pedestrian street and walk around the city.
