It is a very beautiful temple. Inside, the temple looks especially impressive - the brick walls convey the spirit of wartime, the time of the heroic defense of the fortress.
It is especially interesting that under the building there is an underground level of the temple, which sometimes you can even get into.

The temple on the territory of the Brest fortress, not very old (founded in 1851), but with a rich history, a witness and participant in the defense of the Brest fortress, an iconic place, I advise you to visit with children, children need to know their history.

The garrison Church of St. Nicholas, one of the places, more precisely, out of a million places where a person can have time to repent in order to save his soul! This church has gone through wars, through destruction, through all sorts of authorities. A large number of people died in this church, but no one was able to destroy it completely. And finally, the time has come when, thanks to our local authorities, employees of the fortress and just parishioners, clergy, we restored it and now there is a unique opportunity in the last days of our lives to come there in order to save our soul. Thank God and all for peace and goodness and salvation of the soul!!!

An impressive place with its history and beauty.... It was built as a church, visited a church, and eventually returned to its historical purpose.... The exterior was reconstructed, and inside the church they tried to set aside as much as possible in the form that it acquired after the war - a minimum of decoration, no painting... It is very unusual and majestic.

By imperial order, the foundation of the temple was laid in 1851, according to the project of the famous architect of the 19th century, academician David Grimm. The temple turned out to be in the form of an ancient basilica: Byzantine style, with side naves and an apse in the center. There were 8 columns inside, which provided support for the huge dome. In 1886, Emperor Alexander III visited the temple together with his heir, Tsarevich Nicholas II, the last monarch of the Russian Empire. In 1921, after the signing of the Peace of Riga with Poland, the cathedral became part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It was rebuilt and turned into the Roman Catholic Church of St. Casimir by Polish architects. In June 1941, the church building became an important point of defense, as it was located on the highest point of the citadel. During the invasion of German troops, being the last hotbed of resistance of the defenders of the Brest fortress, the cathedral was able to withstand bombing and shelling. One of the inscriptions left inside the temple preserved the feat of a Soviet soldier: "There were three Muscovites – Ivanov, Stepanchikov, Zhuntyaev, who defended this church, and we swore an oath: we will die, but we will not leave here. July 1941". I recommend visiting the temple, which impresses not only with its architecture, but also with its history...

Visiting the St. Nicholas Garrison Cathedral in Brest was an impressive experience. The temple, rooted in history, expresses pride and greatness, despite the many trials that it had to go through.
It is interesting to know that this cathedral was conceived in the XIX century and created under the leadership of the outstanding architect David Grimm. Its majestic Byzantine style with a dome and St. George's Cross gives the impression of an antique basilica.
The cathedral has gone through many trials, starting with the First World War and ending with the period of perestroika into a Roman Catholic church and the subsequent war. However, it has always been a symbol of courage and faith, and the restoration of the cathedral in 1994 was a victory for historical truth.
Today, this temple is a national spiritual and patriotic monument, and its servants support Belarusian servicemen by conducting important ceremonies and ceremonies.
A visit to St. Nicholas Garrison Cathedral provides an opportunity to immerse yourself in the history and spiritual culture of Brest and Belarus as a whole, as well as to see how the efforts of many people helped to restore this majestic temple after the destruction.

An amazing place, an amazing temple! I'm not a big fan of visiting temples, but this is the first one I didn't want to leave. Glory and praise to the restorers that they did not kill the spirit of this temple, that they left the interior as it is now.
By far the most soulful temple of all that I have visited.

Stunned. Restored and restored from the outside, the temple is also being revived inside. But its walls remain without painting, and, probably, that is why the impression is created that the temple is filled with the events of 1941, that it carries them within itself, that it suffered them, that each of its stones is soaked in blood and suffering. It seems to me that it is worth leaving its interior in this form, emphasizing its heroism and courage both as a temple and as one of the defensive points of the Brest fortress.

The long-suffering Temple in the Brest fortress, the construction of which began in 1851, for the soldiers of the Russian Empire. Services were held here back in tsarist times. But the First World War brought the first destruction here. Since then, Catholics have visited here, and an army club and a food warehouse have operated.
And since 1994, church services have resumed in the Garrison Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. The temple began to be restored, reborn!
The truth has triumphed! thank god!
Entering the Temple, you feel the greatness and strength of spirit of the soldiers of the Brest fortress who fought on its territory, it helps to understand the unpainted walls of the Temple....
And you feel the power of prayers in a special way 🙏🙏🙏

My most favorite temple! The painted walls bear the traces of past tragic events. A wonderful abbot and all the priests, especially the sincere confessor Father Vladimir. And the rest of the workers in the shop and by candlelight are very friendly. A wonderful choir director who perfectly directs the singing and sings herself, even with children in her arms. For me, she is an example of spiritual strength with physical fragility. I come to this temple and feel the closeness of God. And what a beautiful nature around!Birdsong, space...It's a pity that it's not easy to get here, there would be more parishioners.

A nice, bright temple. Renovated from the outside, but specially left in its original form inside. It is pleasant to be in this temple with your soul.
At the entrance, especially for female visitors, shawls are prepared in a special place on the shelves to cover the head at the entrance to the temple.
In the church shop, you can only pay in cash, Russian or Belarusian. There is no card payment.

It's a very nice place. Although he is not a believer himself, he liked the place from the point of view of the historical architectural object. The temple is about 200 years old - it has survived since the First World War.
In addition, he came separately with his parents to the service, when they were once again on excursions in Brest and the Brest fortress. Parents are believers and for them visiting this temple was a separate layer of positive emotions.
I recommend definitely stopping by if you come on an excursion to the Brest fortress.
