Originally, St. George’s Church was a strong three-story wooden three-throne (St. George, St. Elijah and St. Sophia) building with a bell tower above the vestibule. And the total number of church bells was five: four on the bell tower and one (the largest) was installed on the pillars next to the cemetery.
Preserved to this day, the building of the mid-nineteenth century is a typical project in the neo-Russian style, recommended for widespread construction in the great Russian Empire. This five-nave, one-story, three-story building (oriented to the north, south and west) is an octagonal cross in plan.
Its four pillars are a support for a high octagonal light drum with arched windows on which rests a tent dome with a bulbous finish. The same silhouettes emphasize the overall silhouette of the four domes at the corners of the main cubic volume.
Pseudo-Russian accents in the form of tongs and kokoshniks, dormers and arches, half-columns and perspective arches give a special color to the church on Polish filwarks.
Located in the western part of the complex, the bell tower of St. George's Church is a three-tiered building consisting of two octagonal volumes, which rest on a quadrangular pedestal of the first tier. Its overall design echoes the style of the temple building and is made in the same pseudo-Russian style.
In 1851, construction began under the direction of architect I. Axelrud. October 15.1861 was significant for the flock of Polish filwarks Kamianets - Archpriest Paul Trinity was consecrated a new church with one throne in honor of St. George the Great Martyr and Victorious (although the design work lasted half a century), and two years later (1863) its place next to the new church occupied the bell tower, made in the same style.
Twenty years after its opening (1881), a second throne was opened in the northern part of the temple in honor of St. Sophia and her three daughters: Faith, Hope and Love.
The advent of Soviet rule and new rules for the existence of religious organizations within the state policy of atheism in the 1920s brought the arrival of St. George's Church to the brink of extinction, and decades of oppression ended with the closure of the church building and its transfer to a distillery in 1935. premises, installing a floor on the second tier.
Years of war and peace will pass, a planetarium will be built here for seven years (since 1983), until the seventieth anniversary of atheism is replaced by an era of spiritual revival, when the church complex on Polish farms in 1990 will be returned to the Orthodox community of Kamianets. a new page in its history, which will restore the former appearance and increase the flow of believers, the status of the Orthodox Cathedral and the love of parishioners…
