Bernardine Monastery in Sokal, Baroque monastery in Sokal, Ukraine

The Bernardine Monastery stands on the banks of the Western Bug River, featuring detailed architectural elements and a bell tower within its complex layout.

Architect Jan Jaroszewicz designed this religious complex in 1604, which later served as the main residence for the Ruthenian province of the order in 1797.

The monastery contained a substantial library of 5,000 volumes, establishing itself as a center for theological education and religious services in the region.

The monastery buildings underwent multiple transformations throughout their history, including periods of use as administrative facilities and detention centers.

The structure combines defensive architectural features with religious elements, reflecting the need for protection while maintaining its spiritual function.
