A wonderful Baroque Church in the very center of Grodno! It is a favorite place of tourists and it is not surprising. The very beautiful Orthodox Church has a rich history, services are constantly held.

The temple is a traveler. The survivor of principalities, countries, warriors, persecution.
He appears in all his greatness.
A living place of prayer that has not stopped for centuries. Both the Heavenly and the earthly have gathered in this place. Here you can feel God's grace, His protection of this temple.

I am not a Catholic, but this church, apparently, is one of the main attractions of Grodno. I looked at the bas-reliefs on the walls with real pleasure. And when I found out how old the building was, I was amazed.

Красивый костёл, напитанный духом истории. Зашла туда во время службы. Красивая музыка, душевное богослужение. Увидела, как зыркал на меня охранник, который, впрочем, молился. Потом он резко рванул в мою сторону, как оказалось к туристка, которая фотографировала. Напустился на неё, мол во время службы фотать нельзя. Ну повесьте объявление; "Идет служба. Уважайте чувства верующих. Не фотографируйте и отключите звук телефона“.Все- и не придется, как церберу кидаться на людей.
Хотела пройти ближе к алтарю и сделать пожертвование по окончании службы, тот же охранник не пустил, мол проход только для молящихся.
В общем, храм красив, но осадок неприятный остался.
Добрее нужно быть)

The building is very beautiful inside. The church is active, services are constantly held in it, so in order to walk around the building you need to guess the time

We were there with a guide. In principle, I liked it. But the story of the guide and the visitors left confirmation that Catholics are very different from the Orthodox. The altar is completely carved out of wood and painted to look like rich marble. Grandpa came up to us, obviously under the influence, and commented on the story)

Довольно приличный католической храм. Не претендует на уникальность, но интерьеры вполне достойные. В отличие от соборов Западной Европы, туристов не пускают близко к алтарной части. Из-за этого, кстати, нельзя целиком увидеть орган над входом. Но фотографировать не запрещают - уже хорошо. И лавочки есть.

A beautiful church, but many tourists ignore the rules of appearance, but the cathedral does not issue skirts to cover their knees!

The church is beautiful, striking at first sight. But our impression of him was overshadowed by a security guard, a man of retirement age, who literally walked on our heels and allowed himself to make unethical comments about us. They got up the wrong way, entered the wrong way, looked the wrong way. It reminded me of the grannies in the post-Soviet church.

Асаблівае месца. Ня толькі для вернікаў, але і для тых, хто сапраўды цікавіцца гісторыка-культурным скарбам Беларусі. Можна сесць і памаліцца, але разглядаць цікавасці будзе складана: ёсць загарода. Прыхаджане ведаюць, як тут і што, але ў мінскім касцёле (на Нямізе) абстаноўка больш вольная.

нереальная архитектура, как внутри, так и снаружи, как-будто в другой мир попадаешь. Особенно хороши скульптуры. Отличная акустика, приятное местечко

Здание костела впечатляет своим величием и расположением в самом центре Гродно. Храм один из самых барочных базилик Восточной Европы. Имеет статус главного костела - собора города. В интерьере, представьте себе, аж 13 необычайной красоты и стиля алтарей и амвон. Многофигурная деревянная композиция покоряет воображение. Главный купол в диаметре 13 метров. Фресковая роспись, старейшие в Европе часы, скульптуры, действующий орган - настоящее духовное и культурное наследие страны.

It's a very beautiful place. Atmospheric and intentional. We often go there with my wife and friends to pray. It is clear that the rector of the temple treats him with great trepidation.

Невероятно красивый костел с богатой историей. Рекомендую также побыть на службе и проникнуться атмосферой этого храма, послушать органную музыку.

Безусловно, красивый храм. С богатым убранством. Спокойно полюбоваться можно только во время службы. Но туристов в это время просят не входить, не перемещаться, не фотографировать. С этим не спорю. Поэтому можно выбрать: либо посетить Костел между службами, либо не мешать во время службы.

Потрясающей красоты убранство внутри. Можно сесть и просто любоваться, ничего не говорить и не слушать.
Я хожу в такие места из чисто эстетического интереса, и здесь я был удовлетворен.

A beautiful temple, but alas, if you are a tourist and not a Catholic , then you can only see from behind the fence . There don 't seem to be any gentlemen , but the habits remain .

I liked that the entrance is free and no one drops out and no one bothers anyone.
In Russia, this has become a rarity, But here in the city, in general, people are friendly everywhere.

A beautiful church both from the outside and inside. There are old and very revered icons. But this is a new model. The old church was destroyed. Not far from this church there is a memorial stone where the church stood.
