Convent in Druya Bernardine monastery was one of the key sites in the history of Belarusian culture of the XX century. In 1924, the bishop of Vilnius Yuri Matulevich founded in Druja in the Bernardine monastery complex Marian. This monastery was the «base» of Belarusian Catholics. It is associated with the biography of the majority of Catholic priests Belarusians who used the services of the Belarusian language. The Polish authorities were actual war with the monastery, and in 1938 he was finally eliminated - a part of the priests were sent to Poland, part to China to conduct missionary work there.
