The Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul is an architectural monument of national significance in the "Old Lutsk" reserve, on Katedralna Street. It once belonged to the Jesuit order, and today it is the cathedral of the Lutsk Diocese. Nearby stands the former Jesuit collegium, where studies still take place today.
The Jesuit Church
The church and collegium were built in the early 17th century for the needs of the Jesuits. When the neighboring Cathedral of the Holy Trinity burned down in 1781, the cathedra was moved to the former Jesuit church in 1787. After 1795, it became the center of the united bishoprics of Lutsk and Zhytomyr.
Interior and Dungeons
Inside, there are altars with 18th-century stone sculptures of Peter and Paul, paintings, epitaphs, ancient furniture, and murals. Most tourists are attracted by the dungeons beneath the church — part of them is open for excursions, and recently they were connected to another underground passage of the old town.
How to Get There
The church is just a few steps away from Lubart's Castle. Read about the city in the article about Lutsk.
