Frantsyskans'kyi Roman Catholic Church, 1617-1672. Originally, it was built in the Gothic style as one-naved with three-edged altar part, forming the eastern elevation of the building, and with two chapels on side elevations.

During 1692-1717, the nave was lengthened by building on almost the equal building to the western elevation, maybe, with a tower over the vestibule. In 1753-1781, a three-tiered chapel in the Baroque style was built on to the apse, as a result of this the original orientation of the altar was changed. The chapel formed the main font of the Roman Catholic Church with the main entrance, �nd in interior - the narthex with empora. In 1835, the interior of the building, finishing of the nave and chapel was altered according to the project of architect S.Uchta. Today, the chapel is two-tiered.
