Dominican monastery in Lutsk

Dominican monastery in Lutsk, Dominican monastery in Lutsk, Ukraine

The Dominican monastery in Lutsk is a church building constructed in Gothic style with tall pointed arches and intricate stone details throughout its structure. A bell tower rises prominently above the surrounding buildings in the city center.

Founded in the 1370s by Lviv Dominicans of the Society of Pilgrim Brothers for Christ, the monastery was built on Lutsk's southern edge as a defensive complex, with a Gothic church of the Assumption of the Virgin. In 1390 King Władysław II Jagiełło granted it the village of Horodnytsia, and three years later Vytautas added Novostav and a mill. Closed in 1850 under the Russian Empire, the church was later dismantled.

The monastery was founded in the 1370s by Lviv Dominicans of the Society of Pilgrim Brothers for Christ, and its church became Lutsk's first Catholic church. From the early 17th century the cult of the miraculous icon of the Lutsk Mother of God arose here, and the icon was later crowned. Since 1850 the monastery has no longer housed Dominicans; today it holds the Volyn Theological Seminary of the UOC-MP.

The monastery stands at Drahomanova Street 26, in the Old Lutsk historical and cultural reserve, on the southern edge of the old town. The former monastic church was dismantled after the 1850 closure, so the surviving complex is the convent building, now housing the Volyn Theological Seminary of the UOC-MP. It is a national architectural monument, not a public museum.

The monastery was one of the wealthiest in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Its prior maintained one of the spans of the Great Lutsk Bridge from income from the village of Novostav, and the Dominicans received 4 kopa of Lithuanian groschen from Lutsk customs officers.
