Cathedral of Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Catholic cathedral in Pinsk, Belarus

The cathedral exhibits baroque architecture with a bell tower added in 1817, featuring white walls and symmetrical design elements throughout its structure.

Duke Sigismund Kęstutaitis established the original wooden Franciscan monastery and church in 1396, which was later rebuilt in stone during 1510.

The cathedral houses the Madonna of Pinsk painting by Alfred Romer and contains the tomb of Cardinal Kazimierz Świątek in its underground crypt.

The cathedral maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors to view its 1836 pipe organ, which contains more than 1498 functional pipes.

The structure incorporates walls from a previous church damaged in 1648 during the Khmelnytsky Uprising into its current 18th-century construction.
