Transfiguration Church, Novogrudok

The Transfiguration Roman Catholic Church (Belarusian: Фарны касцёл Праабражэння Гасподняга) in Novogrudok, Belarus, is a Baroque church erected in 1712–1723, replacing an earlier Gothic building from the late 14th century, and originally consecrated under the title of Corpus Christi.

[1] In 1422 Władysław II Jagiełło married here his fourth wife Sophia of Halshany, establishing the Jagiellonian dynasty.

In 1643 local castellan Jan Rudamina added a marble bas-relief in commemoration of the Navahrudaks knights fallen in the Battle of Khotyn in 1621.

The building was designed as a one-nave basilica with round apse and two towers at the main facade.

[4] In 1812 during the French invasion of Russia Napoleon’s troops used the church as a food storage.
