Костел святого Антонія, Catholic church in Rivne, Ukraine
Description
Saint Anthony's Church in Rivne is a Catholic place of worship with a single nave and rounded apse at its eastern end. Inside, double arches cross the space while varied window openings let light enter throughout the structure.
History
The church was built as a Catholic sanctuary and sustained major damage during World War II. Later conversion to a storage facility in 1963 left its interior in declining condition.
Culture
Father Seraphim Koshuba held secret services here after the church's official closure, keeping the community's faith alive. These hidden gatherings reveal how deeply the local people valued this place even when it could no longer function openly.
Practical
The building is accessible by local buses heading to the Korchyk stop or by car via the E40 highway through Rivne. Checking the exact location ahead helps you find it more easily when visiting.
