Mogilev. Parish Church of St. Casimir.
The Mogilev Parish Church of St. Casimir was built in the early 17th century with money from Sigismund III, King of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. There were several altars inside the church.
In the early 19th century, after a fire, the church was rebuilt in the classical style.
The brick one-nave rectangular building with side extensions, a pentagonal altar apse and a two-towered main facade. The choirs, where the 7-voice organ was located, were supported by 4 wooden pillars.
There was a manor house for parishioners and priests at the church. One of the parishioners was engineer Nikolai Yastrzhembsky (1808-1874).
After the revolution, a warehouse was built in the church. In 1990, excavations were carried out near the church, where burials were discovered. There are dungeons under the church. The building has been partially preserved. Restoration of the church is possible in the future.
