History and traditions: Pharmacy Garden and Winery in Ilovo

Old Myadel's owner Anthony Koshchits has vowed: build the temple if in family his successor long-awaited appears. The successor has appeared - the vow has been executed. In the city of Myadele in the middle of the 18th century the church of the Mother of God Shkaplernoy and the monastery of Carmelites have been constructed. The temple which you will see during the excursion is a little altered by time and events. Externally he represents a sample of late baroque. On him there are no towers, but there is a cut dome - very much reminds the Italian temples. And interiors acquaint with features of one more refined style - rococo.

The community of the church, disproportionate to the scale of the former village, and now of the usual village, immediately captures the attention of every guest. The church will force everyone to throw aside everything that he was busy on the road before his gaze met this fascinating stone block. Obviously, this was the psychological calculation of the Bernardine fathers, who built their residence here in the second half of the eighteenth century, in order to make "I will praise" from it, where Budslav went from. In 1613 a miraculous icon of the Mother of God appeared here and the place became a real center of pilgrimage. In 1767-1783, in connection with the increase in the number of pilgrims who arrived in Budslav, the Bernardine fathers unfold here the grandiose construction of a new church that was eight times larger than the old one and was consecrated in the name of the Ascension of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To bow to the miraculous image and appreciate the interiors of the legendary church you will be able to during this excursion.
