Church of Virgin Nativity in Glubokoe
The historical part of the city of Glubokoe forms a picturesque silhouette of the monastic complex, which includes the building of the former church, monastery and brama. The Carmelite church in Glubokoe is perhaps the first materialized example of the "Vilna" baroque style in Belarus. July 18, 1812, Napoleon stopped at the monastery. After staying in the Deep 10 days, the French emperor, in order to thank the Carmelites for his hospitality, ordered one of his courtiers to bring a whole dish of coins of Napoleons as a gift to the abbot of the monastery and expressed to him his admiration for the beauty of the monastery and its environs. We invite you to be inspired by local beauties.
Church of Holy Trinity in Glubokoe
The church involuntarily attracts everyone's attention with its openwork towers. In this place, in 1628, Joseph Korsak laid a wooden church. Located on the mountain, it was clearly visible to the inhabitants of the surrounding villages. During the Thirteen Years' War (1654-1667), when Glubokoe was attacked by Russian troops, the church burnt down, but was rebuilt. In 1764, a dilapidated temple was dismantled, and in its place by 1782 a stone church was built in the late Baroque style. Initially intended for circular viewing by its location on a high point of the square, the church is perceived as a stylistically finished sculptural composition.
