Transfiguration Church, Navahrudak, Catholic church in Navahrudak, Belarus
The Transfiguration Church displays a combination of Belarusian Gothic and Baroque architectural elements with two towers at the main facade and faceted towers from the 14th century.
Grand Duke Vytautas established the church in 1395 on a former pagan temple site, marking the beginning of Catholic influence in the region of Navahrudak.
The marriage of King Władysław II Jagiełło to Sophia of Halshany in 1422 at this church initiated the foundation of the Jagiellonian dynasty.
The church resumed regular services in 1992 after a period of closure during Soviet times and underwent complete restoration work that finished in 1998.
Local masons Jakub Boksza, Jerzy Urłowski, Andrzej Szarecki, and Jerzy Stepkowski contributed to the reconstruction of the church between 1712 and 1740.
