Holy Trinity Cathedral

Holy Trinity Cathedral
Ukraine, Lutsk
The Holy Trinity Cathedral in Lutsk was built in 1755 on the site of a former Bernardine monastery. After the monastery was closed in 1853, the church became a parish church, and in 1867 it was converted into an Orthodox church, all the Catholic decoration of the temple was removed. When Lutsk was part of Poland for a short time, the library and the voivodship administration were located in the monastery. Under Soviet rule, the police department and the investigation department of the NKVD worked in the building of the cathedral, then the historical department of the pedagogical institute and the Volyn Theological Seminary (until 1964).
In 1992, the Holy Trinity Cathedral was transferred to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and became a cathedral. The interior of the cathedral has been preserved with a two-tiered carved and gilded iconostasis made by Ukrainian craftsmen in the 19th century. There are nine bells on the bell tower of the cathedral, the heaviest one weighs 2.5 tons.
