BERNARDINE CHURCH. A full name of the Church is the Church of St Francis from Assisi (Bernardine). In case of need the building could have been used not only for prayer but also for defence. This is testified to by 19 aleois in the northern façade. In the times of the Soviet occupation the Church was closed down and converted into a warehouse.
