Reformed Franciscan Church

TIME : 2016/2/18 23:21:46

The Reformed Franciscan Church , on the nearby hill, was built at the end of the 16th century but lost its original style with subsequent Baroque and neoclassical decorations. The Franciscan brethren were compelled to leave the church twice in history: first between 1866 and 1928 when the tsar ordered the annulment of the order; and later under the Nazi occupation, when the Gestapo appropriated the complex.
