The Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a Roman Catholic church in Romny at 246 Heroiv Romenshchyny Street. The first church in the town was probably built by Yarema Vyshnevetsky in the 1630s, but it later disappeared.
History
At the end of the 19th century, Romny grew along with industry, and among the new residents were many Catholics. The current church was built at the beginning of the 20th century according to the design of the engineer Yasnovsky, and the founder was the priest Joan Daugis. In 1910, the church was consecrated by Bishop Jan Cieplak. The Soviet authorities confiscated the church and gave it to the polytechnical college for workshops, and the bell tower was destroyed. In 1999, the second floor was returned to the community.
Architecture
The church is built of red brick. On either side of the entrance are four columns, and above the door, molding of two circles frames a stained-glass window in the shape of a flower.
