Tips

July 27, 2025

The Church of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary is associated with the Orthodox period in the history of the monastery. It was built at the initiative of the nuns between 1904 and 1908 as a winter church.

Its design is attributed to Nikolai Pavlovich Kozlov, an architect active at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg.

This architect, commissioned by the tsarist government, built a number of public buildings and churches. He also worked for the Holy Synod of the Orthodox Church (it was by decision of this Synod that the nuns moved from Grodno to Różanystok in the early 20th century). His design for one of the buildings in Różanystok (the former monastery hospital) is confirmed in sources, so it can be assumed that he also designed the winter church.

After the nuns' evacuation into Russia in 1915, the complex fell into the hands of the German army and then, back, to the Catholic Church. Currently, the church serves as a Catholic chapel of Our Lady Help of Christians." - source: rozanystok.salezjanie.waw.pl, accessed July 27, 2025.
