Franciscan Monastery
Кляштар францысканцаў
A 17th-century Franciscan monastery with the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin. It is one of Grodno's old monasteries that is still active.
The Franciscan Monastery was built in the mid-17th century. Its church holds an 18th-century Baroque altar, and the monastery is still home to Franciscan friars. The grounds are peaceful and quiet, with few visitors, making it a good choice for travelers who want to see more of the Old Town's churches. It sits on a slope on the western side of the Old Town, near the Kolozha Church area, so you can stop by on your way there.
