The Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the monastery of brigitok. Founded in 1634, the architecture is early Baroque. A beautiful monastery complex, with a church and powerful walls and an interesting history. Indeed, the decoration of the city. The appearance of this place has not changed over the years. Pay attention to the details of the portals of the entrances and the unusual facade frieze. The interior is renovated, but the main altar has already been restored. Do not forget to inspect the wooden lamus on the territory of the monastery.
The largest and most richly furnished and beautifully decorated Catholic church that I have ever seen on the territory of both Russia and Belarus. I have never seen such a pandemonium of Catholics. Tourists are allowed, but only in the intervals between masses (services). All services (except two services per week) are in Polish. The break between services is 10-15 minutes. I recommend that you definitely visit.
A small but amazingly beautiful and cozy Church in the heart of the city.
Even if you don't go to services, it's still worth a visit.
By the way, on its territory (behind) there is a Lamus - an interesting wooden building, straight from the past. And more recently, a museum.
The magnificent church of the city of Grodno! There is a Lamus on the territory of the church - the oldest building in the city. And in the Church itself, you can visit the basements, which hide a lot of history. A tour of the church is sometimes conducted by the priest himself, Canon Anthony, who knows the history.
The ancient building of the Brigitte Monastery conceals under its cover the secrets of the history of the city and the lives of people in different eras and at the moment. Divine services are held here, an active church of the Catholic religion. It is located in the very center of the city in an old building, among historical buildings.
Externally, the church is beautiful, but they could not get inside, it was closed. In general, for some reason it is commonplace for Grodno not to let people into temples and churches, whether Orthodox or Catholic. I have not encountered such discrimination anywhere in Europe, where churches are always open and anyone can enter, regardless of their religion.
Very beautiful. I'm Orthodox, but they let me see it.

A beautiful church, while restoration is underway, as everything inside has been completely looted and taken away somewhere. The church opens at six o'clock. It is closed during the day, as there is no way to hire a guard
